Hey peeps, I'm really interested in Florida State University and was wondering what kind of GPA they typically look for? Thanks!
Florida State University (FSU) typically looks for students with a competitive high school GPA. Although there is no strict cutoff for GPA, the middle 50% of accepted students has a GPA between 4.2 - 4.6.
It's important to note that FSU uses a recalculated GPA, which is based on your core academic courses such as English, Math, Science, Social Science, and Foreign Language.
However, keep in mind that FSU also evaluates applicants through a holistic review process, which means that they will consider other factors beyond merely your GPA, including your standardized test scores, extracurricular activities, essays, and course rigor. Thus, having a strong GPA can help improve your chances, but make sure to focus on your application as a whole.
Regardless of your GPA, make sure to showcase your strengths, passions, and unique qualities in other areas of your application to demonstrate your fit for FSU. At selective schools like FSU, no single credential will guarantee acceptance, so you want your strengths to come across clearly in each component of your application.
Good luck!
