Hi there! I'm planning on applying to North Carolina A&T University as an upcoming senior, but I'm not sure what their GPA requirements are. Does anyone know where I could find accurate info?
While North Carolina A&T University doesn't publicize a strict GPA requirement for the admission process, the average high school GPA of the university's incoming freshmen class is usually not lower than 3.2. Keep in mind that the university uses a holistic review process, which takes into consideration multiple factors in addition to GPA such as course rigor, extracurricular activities, leadership roles, and personal essays.
One way to get an overview of the academic profile of accepted students is to review the school's common data set or the freshman class profile if those are available on the university website. Both of these resources will provide information on the percentile ranges for GPA and other academic indicators of admitted students. Please note that this range indicates the middle 50% of the incoming class, meaning half of the students scored within that range, 25% scored below, and 25% scored above. So even if your GPA is below the average, still consider applying if North Carolina A&T is a good fit for you as they also value compelling, well-written essays, strong letters of recommendation, and noteworthy activities.
It's also a good idea to reach out to the admissions office if you have any further questions. They can provide the most accurate and up-to-date information, and they may even have tips for improving your chances of admission. Best of luck in your application process!
