Guys, I could use some help here. What's the target GPA required for applying at East Carolina University (ECU)? I'm really interested in ECU and would like to know how high I should aim.
East Carolina University, like most universities, doesn't have a strict threshold or minimum GPA for admission. However, it can be helpful to look at the admitted students' profile for an estimate of your target GPA. On average, incoming freshmen at ECU tend to have high school GPAs between a 3.3 and a 4.0. This is unweighted, on a 4.0 scale.
As far as your application, while having a GPA that falls within or above this range can make you a competitive applicant, remember that GPA is just one aspect of your application. ECU will also consider your course rigor, extracurricular activities, leadership roles, community service, work experience, letters of recommendation, and personal essays. Aiming for a GPA within the aforementioned range while balancing these other factors will give you the best chance of admission.
