Hey folks, I've been looking into the University of Maryland and everything I've seen so far is intriguing. Though, I am curious about their average GPA. Anyone have any insights? Appreciate the help!
The University of Maryland, College Park is a fairly selective school. According to the most recent data available, the average high school GPA of incoming freshmen was approximately 4.45 after weighting. It's important to recall, though, that this is just the average, meaning half the scores are above it and half are below. Also, remember that this is the weighted GPA which includes any extra points for honors or AP classes.
However, GPA is just one factor in admissions decisions. They'll also consider things like your course rigor, extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation to get a holistic view of you as an applicant!
