Hey guys, I'm curious if the University of Dayton uses a specific GPA scale for their admissions process. Does anyone know if they look at weighted or unweighted GPA? And do they use a 4.0 or 5.0 scale for calculating it?
The University of Dayton typically considers a student's weighted GPA during the admissions process to account for the rigor of the courses taken, such as honors, AP, or IB classes. They primarily use a 4.0 scale for calculating GPA. However, it's important to note that they also review high school transcripts and consider the coursework in context. This means they look at the courses you've taken in relation to what was available at your high school, the level of rigor, and your overall academic performance to better understand your academic potential.
So, while they focus on a 4.0 scale for GPA, the University of Dayton also considers other academic factors to have a more comprehensive understanding of your high school academic experience. Good luck with your application process!
