I'm a junior and University of Michigan is on my radar for applications next year. Does anyone know what their average accepted student GPA tends to be? It would really help with my planning!
The University of Michigan is quite competitive when it comes to GPA. In general, admitted students usually have a high school GPA in around 3.9 on an unweighted 4.0 scale. This indicates that successful applicants typically have A averages in their high school courses. However, the GPA is just one factor in the admissions process. Other factors like your SAT/ACT scores, high school course rigor, letters of recommendation, extracurricular activities, and essays are also important. But continue to do well in your classes and aim for the highest possible GPA! If University of Michigan is a dream school for you, achieving a strong GPA will certainly help your application.
