What is the Average GPA of Students at Michigan State University?

Does anyone know what the typical GPA for students at Michigan State University is? I'm trying to gauge my chances of acceptance.

a year ago

Michigan State University (MSU) reports that the average high school GPA of its incoming freshman class is typically around 3.5 - 4.0 on a 4.0 scale. This means that admitted students generally have grades ranging from B+ to A during high school.

Please remember that admissions are determined based on a variety of factors, not just GPA. Your extracurricular activities, standardized test scores (if submitted), and application essays are also significant parts of the picture. And while MSU may not officially consider demonstrated interest in its admissions process, showing a thoughtful understanding of the school's offerings and ethos in your application's personal elements can be beneficial.

However, keep in mind that the average GPA may fluctuate slightly from year to year and program to program. If you are applying to a more competitive or specialized program, the average GPA for those students might be higher. It could be beneficial to contact the admissions office or examine the individual department's page to see if there is more specific data available.
