What's the Average GPA for UConn?

Hi all, does anyone know what the average GPA is for students at UConn? Just trying to see how competitive I'll be when I apply next year.

Hello, UConn, or the University of Connecticut, is indeed quite competitive when it comes to GPA. Now, while it does change a bit every year, recent admissions data suggest that incoming freshmen at UConn have an average high school GPA of approximately 3.7.

However, it's also essential to remember that just having the average GPA doesn't guarantee admission. UConn, like many other institutions, takes a holistic approach to admissions and considers factors like your course rigor, recommendations, personal statement, and extracurricular involvement in addition to your GPA. So, while GPA is certainly important, it's also important to have a balanced and well-rounded application.

If you have the opportunity, consider taking rigorous courses such as honors, AP or IB classes as they can demonstrate your readiness for college-level coursework. Good luck with your application process, and feel free to ask if you have any more questions!
