Hey everyone, I'm a high school junior thinking about applying to Kennesaw State University next year. What GPA is generally needed for admission? Are there any specific requirements or is it more about the overall profile?
Hi there! Kennesaw State University (KSU) in Georgia is moderately selective, so while they do have some requirements, they also consider various aspects of your academic profile. As far as GPA is concerned, the average high school GPA of admitted students at KSU is around 3.47. However, since admission decisions are made on a holistic basis, a slightly lower GPA might still be acceptable, depending on the strength of the rest of your application.
It's important to note that KSU weighs both unweighted and weighted high school GPAs. Weighted GPAs are usually beneficial if you've taken challenging courses, like Honors, AP, or IB courses. These show that you have pursued rigorous coursework in high school and might help offset a slightly lower GPA.
