I'm thinking of applying to Brigham Young University and I'm trying to figure out my standing compared to the average admitted student. Could anyone tell me what's the average GPA of students at BYU? Just to get an idea about how competitive it is.
Brigham Young University (BYU) has a competitive admission process and the students they admit typically have strong academic profiles. The average GPA of admitted students usually floats around 3.86 to 4.00. You should note, however, that while GPA is a significant metric, it is not the only factor considered in admission. They also take into account factors like extracurricular involvement, personal essays, and letters of recommendation. If your GPA is below the average, strong demonstrations of leadership or unique personal experiences, among other things, could still make you a competitive candidate.
