Hey guys, I'm interested in applying to Illinois State University and I was wondering what their GPA requirements are? My unweighted GPA is currently 3.2. Would that be competitive enough for me to get in?
Illinois State University doesn't have a strict minimum GPA requirement; however, it typically admits students with competitive GPAs. For the Fall 2023 incoming class, the average GPA of accepted students was 3.64. With your current unweighted GPA of 3.2, you fall below the average, but you're still within a competitive range, suggesting that you have a chance of getting in.
Keep in mind that your GPA is just one part of your application, and Illinois State also considers other factors, such as your course rigor, class rank, extracurricular activities, letters of recommendation, and personal statement. To enhance your chances, focus on showcasing your strengths in these areas and demonstrating your dedication to your chosen field. I hope this is helpful!
