Hi there! I've got Seton Hall on my list of potential colleges and I'm trying to figure out what kind of GPA they look for. Anyone here got any insights? Thanks!
Seton Hall University is moderately selective when it comes to the GPA of its potential students. Many resources report that the average GPA of accepted students at Seton Hall is about a 3.6. However, remember that this is an average so there is a range of scores accepted.
Even if your GPA is slightly below that average, keep in mind that colleges, including Seton Hall, look at more than just GPA. The rigor of your coursework and your involvement in extracurriculars will also be considered.
In other words, a slightly lower GPA might be overlooked if you have taken challenging AP classes or are significantly involved in Tier 1 or 2 extracurriculars. Alternatively, a higher GPA with easy classes and minimal extracurricular involvement wouldn't necessarily give you an advantage.
In any case, keep working hard academically and maintaining strong involvement outside the classroom. Good luck with your application process!
