Wake Forest GPA requirements?

I'm passionate about applying to Wake Forest but I'm stressed about whether my GPA is competitive enough. Can anyone give me a rough estimate of their GPA requirements? Thanks!

Wake Forest University, like many selective schools, doesn't have a set GPA requirement, but can provide a rough idea of the competitive range based on average GPA of accepted students.

The mid-50% GPA range reported for admitted Wake Forest students generally lies between 3.8 and 4.0 on an unweighted 4.0 scale, meaning most admitted students had high school GPAs in this range. This indicates a highly competitive application pool, but remember, GPA is just one of many factors they consider in their holistic review process.

Beyond GPA, things like the rigor of your high school curriculum, your letters of recommendation, extracurricular involvement, leadership experience, AP/IB classes, and personal essays are also important in their decision-making process.

So, while GPA is important, Wake Forest is looking to admit well-rounded students who excel in multiple areas, not just academically. Your application should strive to highlight your strengths, passions, and what unique perspective you could bring to the Wake Forest community.

And if you think your GPA might be a weakness in your application, focus on other areas that you can influence at this point, like writing strong essays and developing solid letters of recommendation. Hope this helps!
