Hey there! I'm thinking about applying to SUNY Oneonta, and I want to know what the GPA requirements are. Does anyone have any information on this? Also, do they look at weighted or unweighted GPAs? Thanks for the help!
Hello! SUNY Oneonta does not have a specific minimum GPA requirement for admission. However, it's always beneficial to be aware of the average GPA of admitted students to gauge your competitiveness. For SUNY Oneonta, the average high school GPA of admitted students is around 3.5. This falls somewhere between a B+ and an A-.
As for weighted vs. unweighted GPA, colleges generally look at both, but they typically place more emphasis on your unweighted GPA. Unweighted GPAs show how well you've performed in your classes without taking into account the difficulty of the courses. However, they still consider the rigor of your classes (e.g., more advanced courses like AP or honors will be seen favorably) when reviewing your transcript. While SUNY Oneonta may not have a specific policy regarding weighted or unweighted GPAs, they will consider the overall strength and rigor of your course load, alongside your GPA.
Keep in mind that GPA is just one aspect of your application, so it's important to also pay attention to other factors such as standardized test scores (if applicable), extracurricular activities, letters of recommendation, and your personal essay. Good luck with your application to SUNY Oneonta!
