Hi, does anyone know what kind of GPA is necessary for admission into Florida Atlantic University? Is there a general range or average? Trying to gauge where I stand. Thanks!
Hello! Florida Atlantic University (FAU) generally accepts students who have strong academic profiles. For the year 2023, it was reported that the average GPA of incoming first-year students was 3.8 on a weighted 4.0 scale. This means that 50% of admitted students had a GPA above 3.8 and 50% had a GPA below. The higher your GPA though, the better your chances.
However, it's important to note that GPA is just one part of the college application. FAU will also take into account other factors such as course rigor (the difficulty level of the classes you took in high school), extracurricular activities, letters of recommendation, and your essay. So, even if your GPA falls slightly outside this reported range, you may still have a chance of admission, particularly if the other areas of your application are strong.

I hope this answers your question! Good luck with your application!
