Hey! I've been considering applying to Cal Lutheran, and I'm curious about the average GPA of admitted students. Does anyone know what GPA I should be aiming for in order to have a good shot at getting in?
Hello! California Lutheran University (Cal Lutheran) has a somewhat competitive admissions process, and it's important to have a strong GPA to improve your chances of being admitted. The average high school GPA for admitted students at Cal Lutheran is around 3.8 on a 4.0 scale. This suggests that a majority of accepted students have mainly A's and some B's on their transcripts.
However, remember that GPA is just one factor in the admissions process. Cal Lutheran will also consider other components of your application such as extracurricular activities, letters of recommendation, and any standardized test scores (if you choose to submit them). So, while a GPA above 3.8 will put you in a good position for admission, also focus on developing other areas of your application to make yourself a well-rounded candidate.
Best of luck with your application!
