Average GPA for Syracuse

Hey folks, floating around the idea of applying to Syracuse for my UG studies. Anyone out there who knows what the average admitted student's GPA at Syracuse is like?

Syracuse University tends to admit students who have a strong academic profile. The average high school GPA of the admitted students is usually around 3.75 on the unweighted 4.0 scale.

Keep in mind, though, that GPA is just one factor in the admissions process. Other factors like your course rigor, extracurriculars, letters of recommendation, and essays also play a significant role. Syracuse admits students based on the overall quality of their application, not solely on their GPA.

For instance, taking challenging AP or IB classes could demonstrate your academic preparedness for college-level work even if these more difficult classes pull your GPA down slightly. Similarly, demonstrating leadership in extracurriculars or writing a compelling personal essay could impress the admissions officers, despite a slightly lower GPA.

So while keeping your GPA competitive is important, also make sure to pay attention to other areas of your application. That being said, having a GPA of around 3.75 or above would likely make your application more competitive at Syracuse.
