Hi all! Really aiming to apply to UVA next year but I'm feeling a bit anxious about my GPA. Can anyone share what the average GPA is for admitted students? Any feedback would be super appreciated!
The University of Virginia (UVA) is highly competitive, and as such, it does attract high-achieving students. The incoming first-year class typically has a high school GPA is 4.3 on a weighted scale. However, remember that GPA is just one factor in a holistic admissions process. UVA will review your academic record, test scores (if submitted), extracurriculars, essays, and other aspects of your application alongside your GPA. It's also beneficial to have a strong course rigor - Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) courses, for example. Highly competitive applicants often exhibit a combination of academic prowess, leadership, and passion in their chosen fields of interest.
