Hello folks, Miami University's my dream school! Could anyone tell me what the required GPA for admission is? Want to ensure I'm on the right track.
Miami University does not have a minimum GPA requirement for admission. However, to be competitive, you'll want to aim for a high GPA.
Consider the profile of recently admitted students: the middle 50% of admitted students at Miami University typically have a high school GPA between 3.8 and 4.3 on a weighted 4.0 scale. This means 25% of admitted students have a GPA below 3.8 and 25% have a GPA above 4.3.
Remember that GPA is only one part of your application. Universities like Miami also look at the rigor of your high school courses (AP, IB, Honors, etc.), SAT or ACT scores (if you choose to submit them), extracurricular activities, letters of recommendation, and application essays.
You should seek to demonstrate strong academic achievement, but also involve yourself in impactful extracurricular activities and write compelling essays. It's about the whole package—not just the numbers! Good luck in your college journey.
