Hello, I'm interested in University of Colorado but I'm unsure of what GPA I need to aim for. Does anyone know around what GPA they look for in potential freshmen? Thanks in advance!
Hi there!
When considering your GPA for admissions, the University of Colorado Boulder tends to favor students who perform well academically. The middle 50% weighted GPA range for incoming freshmen is around 3.71 - 4.22. This means that 25% of admitted students had a GPA below a 3.71, and 25% scored above a 4.22. For a competitive GPA, it is recommended to aim for within or above this range.
It's important to remember that admissions officers will look at a variety of factors alongside your GPA, including your course rigor (how challenging your high school courses were), your extracurricular involvement, and your essay. So, do your best in all academic areas, and try to showcase your passion and commitment through your extracurriculars and essay.
In addition, it's always a good idea to tour the campus (if feasible) or attend virtual events to get a feel for the environment and to demonstrate your interest in the school.
Best of luck with your college application journey!
