Good day everyone! I have my sights set on UM for next year. I'm having a bit of a tough time finding the average GPA required for admissions though. Can anyone lend a hand?
Sure, happy to help with this! Generally, the University of Miami is a fairly selective institution. The average high school GPA of the admitted freshman class at the University of Miami was about 3.8 on the 4.0 scale indicating that primarily A students are accepted and ultimately attend.
Remember that this GPA is a weighted average, so it takes into account classes like AP and honors which have an extra point. If you're taking rigorous courses and have a somewhat lower GPA, you may still be considered. As always, having a high GPA doesn't guarantee admission. The university will also take into consideration your extracurricular activities, essays, letters of recommendation, and other parts of your application.
