Hey y'all, so I'm a junior interested in applying to Texas A&M in the future. Is anyone aware of the average GPA for accepted students? I'd like to evaluate my current standings.
Hello! Texas A&M University does not disclose a precise "average GPA" for their incoming class. However, on their admissions site, they provide a profile of admitted students which indicates that the vast majority of admitted freshmen rank in the top 25% of their high school class. In terms of the GPA reported on their high school transcript, many fall within a high range (usually above 3.5 on a 4.0 scale).
Do keep in mind that Texas A&M considers all aspects of an applicant's profile. This includes not just the GPA, but also the coursework rigor, standardized test scores, extracurricular involvement, and personal essays. They're keen on students who have a well-rounded profile, not just a stellar GPA.
Always remember that GPA is just one aspect of your application. Highlighting your strengths, skills, and unique experiences in your essays and other parts of your application can be just as important. Good luck with your college preparations!
