Hi! I'm interested in Seton Hall University and was wondering what the average GPA is for admitted students. Just trying to get a sense of where I stand. Any insight would be appreciated!
Hi there! According to Seton Hall University's most recent data, the average high school GPA of admitted students tends to be around 3.7 on a 4.0 scale. It's worth noting that this is not a strict cutoff, as the admissions process takes several factors into account, such as your extracurricular activities, test scores (if submitted), and so on.
Even if your GPA is slightly lower than the average, you can still have a chance of being admitted if the rest of your application is strong. Of course, though, it's always a good idea to aim for a high GPA to increase your chances.
