Hi all! I'm a junior and I've been researching Fairleigh Dickinson University as one of my college options. Does anyone know the GPA requirement for admission to FDU? Thanks!
Hello! Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU) admits students with various GPA levels, as it uses a holistic admissions process. However, the GPA can play a significant role in the decision process. If you want to have an idea of the GPA range that might make you a competitive applicant, here's some general information:
FDU has two primary campuses in New Jersey: Florham Campus (located in Madison) and Metropolitan Campus (located in Teaneck). For both campuses, the average high school GPA of admitted students tends to range around 3.0 to 3.5. However, this is just an average range, and students with GPAs both above and below this range can still be admitted depending on their overall application.
Keep in mind that FDU will look at your overall application, including your extracurricular activities, recommendations, essays, and standardized test scores (if submitted). It's important to showcase your strengths and accomplishments in these areas as well.
The best way to know where you stand in terms of your GPA would be to reach out to the FDU admissions office for guidance or check their website for more information about the admitted student profile. Good luck with your college search and application process!
