Does anyone know what the average GPA is for students who get accepted into Clemson University? I'm aiming for a higher GPA this semester but just wanted to know what the norm is for students who make it into Clemson. Thanks!
The admission process at Clemson University is considered moderately selective. As per the most recent data, the average high school GPA of Clemson University's freshmen class was approximately 4.43 on a weighted 5.0 scale. To add some context, this indicates that the average accepted student handed in grades on the higher end of A- through their high school career. That being said, Clemson University considers more than just your GPA when reviewing applications.
Other factors that they take into account include the rigor and quality of your high school coursework, your standardized test scores (unless you're opting for test-optional), your involvement and depth of engagement in extracurricular activities, and your essays among other aspects. Having a balanced academic profile will help ensure a holistic and well-rounded application. Good luck with your studies this semester!
