Harvard's minimum GPA?

Hello everyone, I've been putting my heart into getting into Harvard, and was wondering if anyone knew what the minimum GPA is? I know Harvard is super competitive but just want a ballpark figure! Thanks.

While Harvard University doesn't officially declare a minimum GPA for admission, the academic competitiveness among successful applicants remains extremely high. A number of factors, such as your course rigor (like if you are enrolled in honors, AP, or IB courses), extracurricular activities, and your essays, are just as important in the holistic review process.

However, looking at past data, more than 90% of accepted freshmen report a GPA of 4.0 or higher (unweighted). The average unweighted GPA of Harvard University's admitted students is around 3.9, and most successful applicants tend to be at the top of their class.

It's important to contextualize this though – not everyone who gets these grades gets accepted, and not everyone who doesn't, gets rejected. Remember, the admissions process takes into account a wide range of factors, from how compelling your essays are, to your extracurricular achievements, recommendations, and so on. It's always helpful in admissions to have a backup plan as well; consider applying to a variety of reach, match, and safety schools to keep your options open. Lastly, if your GPA is lower, it makes your other parts of your application - such as standardized test scores or essay - even more critical, since you'll need to demonstrate your academic aptitude in other ways.
