Hey everyone, I've got my sights set on University of Pennsylvania (UPenn). Can anyone shed light on the average GPA of admitted students? I want to know if I'm within range. Thank you!
Sure, I can help with that! The University of Pennsylvania, like many highly selective schools, tends to admit students with very high GPAs. As per the latest available data, the average high school GPA of admitted UPenn students is approximately 3.9 on an unweighted 4.0 scale. This means that most UPenn admits typically have nearly straight A's in high school.
Keep in mind, however, that GPA isn't the only factor that UPenn considers. They also take into account the rigor of your course load, your extracurricular involvement, your essays, and many other aspects of your application. Having a GPA in range certainly improves your odds, but a strong application will address all these factors. Good luck with your admissions journey!
