Hello there! So I'm targeting Drexel for my college application and trying to understand what GPA they're looking for. What's the average GPA of admitted students at Drexel? I'd be much obliged for any info on this!
Hello! Drexel University typically admits students with strong academic records, and your GPA plays a significant role in demonstrating that. The average high school GPA for entering Drexel freshman is typically around 3.8 on the 4.0 scale, indicating that primarily A- students are accepted and ultimately attend the school.
In terms of weighted GPA, it is likely higher because most students will be taking a rigorous course load with AP or IB classes. If your GPA falls below the average, remember, a lower GPA doesn't explicitly eliminate your chances for admission. Drexel will look at other elements of your application, like your test scores (if you choose to submit), extracurriculars, essays, and recommendations.
So while GPA is important, it's not the only factor in play. Best of luck with your application!
