Hey guys, I'm interested in applying to Hillsdale College. Does anyone know their average GPA requirements or what kind of GPA I should be aiming for?
Hillsdale College does not have a strict GPA requirement for admissions, but they admit students who have demonstrated strong academic abilities. While a specific GPA might not be required, it's important to be competitive in your application.
To give you an idea of the range of accepted GPAs, the middle 50% of admitted students in recent years had a high school GPA between 3.95 and 4.0. This statistic means that 25% of admitted students have below a 3.95 GPA, 25% have a GPA of 4.0 (since you can't go higher than a 4.0 on an unweighted scale), and 50% fall within this range.
Although GPA is an important factor, keep in mind that Hillsdale College considers other aspects of your application, such as test scores, essays, and extracurricular activities. Striving for a high GPA is definitely beneficial, but also focus on showcasing your strengths and interests in other areas to present a well-rounded application. Good luck!
