Hello! I'm considering applying to Ball State University and I was wondering what the required or competitive GPA is for admission? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hello! Ball State University has a more holistic approach to admissions, so there isn't a strict "required" GPA. However, I can give you an idea of the typical GPAs of admitted students to help you gauge your competitiveness.
The middle 50% GPA range of admitted students at Ball State is typically around 3.2 to 3.9 on a weighted 4.0 scale. It's important to keep in mind that as a public university, Ball State is also mindful of qualifying for in-state or out-of-state applicants, as well as considering other factors like extracurricular activities, recommendation letters, and essays to get a complete understanding of the applicant's profile.
So, while having a GPA in the 3.2 to 3.9 range will make you more competitive, it's not a guarantee of admission, nor is having a GPA below that range an automatic disqualification. Remember to focus on building a well-rounded application that highlights your strengths, interests, and aspirations as you prepare to apply to Ball State.
Good luck with your application!
