Is there anyone here who knows what the average GPA of admitted students at the Air Force Academy is? I want to know where my GPA stands and what I should be aiming for. Thanks in advance.
Absolutely, I can help you with that. While the Air Force Academy doesn't officially state an average GPA for admitted students, it's widely noted that the students they admit are highly competitive academically.
Usually, successful applicants have GPAs in the range of 3.8-4.0, this being on the weighted 4.0 scale, typically translating to an A average. However, keep in mind GPA isn't the only factor that the Academy considers. The Academy will also look at your course rigor (AP/IB/dual enrollment classes), standardized test scores, leadership experience, physical fitness, and character.
To be competitive, aim to achieve a GPA that fits into or exceeds the above range. Remember that the stronger your GPA, the better. But don't neglect the other important components of your application.
