Hi guys, I've been seriously considering applying to Miami University and I'm curious about what their GPA requirements typically look like. If anyone has any first-hand experience or knows anything about it, please share!
Miami University doesn't publish a minimum GPA requirement for admissions, but they do provide some data about the GPAs of their accepted students. Looking at these statistics can give you a sense of what GPA might make you competitive.
According to recent data, the middle 50% of admitted students had high school GPAs between 3.63 and 4.22. This means that 25% of admitted students had a GPA below 3.63 and 25% had a GPA above 4.22.
Here's another way to see it - if you fall into this range, you're in the middle grouping of accepted students, so you would be neither weak nor strong relative to the typical student accepted to Miami University. If your GPA is lower than 3.63, you'd be in the lower group of admitted students, while if your GPA is higher than 4.22, you'd be in the top group.
Remember, Miami University, like many other schools, will review your application holistically. This means they don't make decisions purely based on numbers. They also consider the strength of your high school curriculum, extracurricular involvement, essays, and letters of recommendation.
