Required GPA for New York University

Hey there! So I'm looking at New York University as one of my options. I know it's a competitive school, does anyone know what their required or average GPA is? Is it different for in-state versus out-of-state students? Thanks!

Hi there! At New York University (NYU), there is no hard minimum GPA requirement for admission, but you'll need to have a strong academic record to be competitive. Generally, you'll want to be at least at a 3.7 unweighted GPA to be in the ballpark. However, this does not guarantee admission as the admissions process takes into account your grade trends, course rigor, extracurricular involvement, and other factors.

For in-state and out-of-state students, NYU doesn't differentiate as it's a private university. The admissions standards and process are the same regardless of where you reside. What this means for your GPA is that they don't have separate thresholds for in-state versus out-of-state applicants. If you're an international applicant, your GPA will be evaluated in the context of your country's grading scale.

Remember, these are just approximations. Many students have gained admission to NYU with GPAs below 3.7, and many others with GPAs above 3.8 have been denied. I hope this answers your question. Good luck with your application!
