Hey, I'm in my junior year and starting to look at prospective colleges pretty seriously. The University of Portland is one I'm interested in. Anyone know what sort of GPA they usually require? Thanks!
The University of Portland is a moderately selective university, and they look favorably on applicants with a solid academic performance. Though they don't explicitly state a minimum GPA requirement on their admissions page, data from previous years shows the average high school GPA of admitted students is around 3.70 on a 4.0 scale.
However, remember that GPA alone doesn't secure admission. Your coursework rigor (like AP or IB classes), extracurricular involvement, and essays are other vital factors in holistic admissions. Also, for the sake of accuracy, please check the most recent statistics on the university's admissions page or reliable college research websites. Best of luck in your college journey!
