I'm considering Texas A&M for engineering but I'm not sure where my GPA stands in comparison. Does anyone know what the average GPA for admission tends to be? Thanks!
For students admitted to Texas A&M, the average high school GPA tends to be around 3.68 on a 4.0 scale according to most recent data. Remember that the admissions process is holistic, meaning they consider much more than just your GPA. They'll also look at things like your course rigor, extracurriculars, and personal essays.
However, since you plan on applying to the College of Engineering, you should be aware that this college is generally more competitive than others within the university. Engineering applicants typically have higher GPAs and test scores, so you want to aim for a GPA that's on the higher end of the scale, ideally around 3.8 or even higher, to make your application as competitive as it can be.
Keep in mind that these are average figures. Your individual qualifications could fall below or exceed these levels. Good luck with your application!
