Hi guys! I'm a junior and I've been researching Rice University. Can anyone tell me what GPA scale Rice uses for college admissions? Is it 4.0, 5.0, or something else? Thanks in advance!
Hi there! Rice University, like most colleges, typically standardizes incoming high school GPAs to a 4.0 scale for the admissions process. This allows them to compare applicants from different schools with different grading systems more fairly. So, when you apply to Rice, your GPA will be converted to the unweighted 4.0 scale, even if your high school uses a different grading scale or a weighted system. Good luck with your college search and application process!
