What's the average GPA of Stanford students?

Hey there, I'm curious what the average GPA of Stanford students is. I'm considering applying, but I'm not sure if my GPA would meet their standards. Can anyone help out with this info?

The average GPA of students admitted to Stanford is actually quite high. The majority of incoming students generally have GPAs in the range of 3.90 to 4.0 on a 4.0 unweighted scale. It's important to note, however, that GPA is not analyzed in isolation but rather in the context of your high school and its curriculum. Stanford takes a holistic approach to admissions and considers a lot of factors, including course rigor, trends in grades, and your school's profile. If your GPA is lower than the average, don't get too discouraged. Instead, try focusing on areas where you can shine, like extracurricular activities, personal essays, and letters of recommendation.
