Hey everyone, I've been looking at Binghamton University and it seems like a good fit for me. I'm curious though, does anyone know what their GPA requirements usually look like? I've been staying pretty solid in my grades but I'm trying to figure out if I need to buckle down and push for all A's or if I can take a breather. Thanks in advance!
While Binghamton University doesn't set a specific GPA requirement, the academic profile of accepted students can give us a general idea. Based on previous admissions cycles, the middle 50% of accepted students at Binghamton had a high school GPA range between around 3.3 to 4.0 on a weighted scale. This means that 25% of students had a GPA above 4.0 and 25% had a GPA below 3.3. The estimated average GPA of admitted students is around a 3.7.
Now, having higher grades does increase the chances of admission, but remember that they evaluate your whole academic profile in the context of your high school. They consider things like the rigor of your coursework (APs, Honors, etc.), your improvement over time, and how you stand among your peers at your school.
But alongside academics, also give attention to other parts of your application like your extracurriculars, recommendations, and essays. They all contribute to building your overall profile, and let Binghamton see who you are beyond your GPA.
Just remember, these are estimates and shouldn't act as absolute thresholds. They help indicate the competitiveness of the applicant pool, but they don't dictate admission decisions.
