I'm thinking about applying to Oakland University, but I'm not quite sure what my GPA should look like to be competitive. Does anyone have any ideas about their typical GPA expectations? Thanks for any info!
Oakland University, located in Rochester, Michigan, usually has an average GPA for accepted students around 3.5.
However, please keep in mind that admissions decisions are influenced by multiple factors – not just your GPA. Your course rigor, test scores (if submitted), extracurricular activities, and personal statement (if submitted) are all considered during the application review process. Though GPA plays a significant role in your application, demonstrating your enthusiasm for learning and highlighting your unique experiences can also make a difference.
So, while aiming for a GPA around 3.5 would make you a competitive applicant, don't forget to focus on other aspects of your application to further strengthen your chances of admission. Good luck!
