Miami of Ohio Average GPA

I'm planning to apply to Miami University of Ohio, and I wanted to know the average GPA of admitted students. If I'm below the average, should I still apply or pick another school?

The average GPA of admitted students at Miami University of Ohio is around 3.63 to 4.22 on a weighted scale, but these numbers can change slightly year to year. Also keep in mind that this is just an average, not a strict cutoff. If your GPA is slightly below this range, it doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't apply. Strengths in other areas of your application, like extracurriculars or test scores, can sometimes compensate for a slightly lower GPA.

If Miami University of Ohio is a school you're genuinely interested in, you should still apply, even if your GPA is below this average range. Of course, you will want to apply to a mix of schools, including some where your GPA is more in line with the average, as well as some safety schools. This strategy will give you various options and increase your chances of securing an acceptance to a university that's a good fit for you.
