Yo! University of Richmond is one of my top choices but I'm a little stressed about my GPA. Does anyone know what the average accepted GPA is there? And do they look at weighted or unweighted GPA more? Thanks!
Hello! The University of Richmond is a fantastic choice! Regarding your question, the University of Richmond generally sees the average unweighted GPA of admitted students around a 3.8. As for the weighted GPA, it's indeed useful as it can highlight your rigorous academic curriculum, and colleges usually appreciate the challenge. However, remember, the unweighted GPA often stands out more due to its standardization (it's easy to compare among students from different high schools).
Keep in mind that these are averages, so not everyone getting in will have a GPA exactly along those lines. Your GPA will make up part of your Academic Index that University of Richmond, like many selective schools, will use to roughly gauge your academic performance.
All the best with your applications!
