Hey everyone! Thinkin' about applying to FSU and was curious about what the average GPA is there. You know, so I can gauge where I'm at right now. Is it weighted or unweighted? Thanks in advance!
Hello! Florida State University (FSU) typically provides the average GPA of its incoming class as a weighted GPA. For the most recent class, the average high school GPA of incoming freshmen was around 4.2 to 4.6. Now, it's important to remember this is an average so there are students who are above and below this point.
If you have a GPA that's lower than 4.2, don't lose hope! Universities consider various factors during the admissions process, such as extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation. Continue to strive for the highest GPA you can achieve, while also focusing on other areas of your application.
On the other hand, if your GPA is higher than the average, it's a strong point in your application, but continue to maintain a strong performance in other areas as well. FSU, like many universities, reviews applications holistically, meaning they consider the whole applicant, not just the numbers. Good luck with your applications!
