The average GPA for admitted students at the University of Kentucky is around a 3.6 on a 4.0 scale. Do keep in mind that there's a range of GPAs among the admitted students. Some may have higher GPAs, while others may have lower ones but excel in other areas.

As a junior, it's essential to continue working on maintaining a good GPA and possibly even improving it over time.

However, don't forget that colleges also consider the rigor of your coursework, extracurricular activities, leadership roles, and other factors when reviewing your application.
