Hey y'all, currently a junior trying to plan my future college apps. What's the general GPA requirement (unweighted/weighted) for Appalachian State University? Are there any specific recommended GPAs for certain majors?
Hey there! While Appalachian State University doesn't have a strict GPA requirement, the average GPA of admitted students is around a 4.10 on a weighted scale (as of Fall 2021). This is a competitive GPA, but it's important to keep in mind that admissions are holistic, meaning they will consider other aspects of your application, such as standardized test scores (if you choose to submit them), extracurricular activities, leadership, community involvement, and essays.
In terms of specific majors, there isn't detailed information available about recommended GPAs for each program. However, it's generally a good idea to aim for a strong GPA if you're planning to enter more competitive or selective majors. Make sure to excel in classes related to your intended major, as this will demonstrate your aptitude in the subject area.
Aside from maintaining a solid GPA, focus on building a robust application that showcases your passions, skills, and commitment to your intended field of study. This can include relevant extracurricular activities, internships, volunteer work, or research projects within your chosen major.
Good luck with your future college applications!
