I want to apply to Kean University, but I'm not sure if my GPA is good enough. Is there a specific GPA calculator I can use to figure out my chances, or should I just use a general one online?
Calculating your GPA using a general online calculator should work well for your purpose. Although there isn't a specific GPA calculator tailored for Kean University, using a general one will give you an idea of how your GPA is viewed on a 4.0 scale. When you have your GPA calculated, you can compare it to the average GPA of admitted students at Kean which, according to recent data, is usually around 3.1 for incoming freshmen.
Keep in mind that Kean University has a holistic admissions process, which means they consider various factors of your application, such as your high school coursework, extracurricular activities, and personal statement, alongside your GPA.
While having a competitive GPA is essential, having a balanced application highlighting other strengths will further increase your chances of admission. And if your GPA is slightly below 3.1, don't panic - just focus on showcasing your strengths in these other areas.
Good luck with your application to Kean!
