Hi all, Providence College has caught my eye recently, and I'm curious about the application aspect of it. Does anyone know the typical GPA they look for? Does it differ based on majors? Trying to figure out my chances here.
Hello! Glad to hear that you're interested in Providence College. According to the most recent data, the average GPA for accepted students at Providence College is about a 3.57 on a 4.0 scale.
However, it's important to note that Providence College doesn't just look at GPA in isolation. They take a holistic approach to admissions evaluations. This means they also consider your essay, extracurricular involvement, letters of recommendation, course rigor and other factors.
As for GPA requirements varying by major, Providence College generally doesn't differentiate GPA expectation based on intended major for undergraduate admissions. But universities generally do expect to see a stronger background in specific subjects for specific majors. For example, if you're applying to a STEM program, they'd like to see strong grades in math and science courses.
Remember that these figures are just guidelines, not strict cutoffs. Don't let your GPA deter you from applying if you feel that you are a strong fit for the school in other ways! Admission is not solely about numbers. Good luck with your application!
