Competitve GPA?

3.6 or so and above

I would say at least 3.5

I got denied at a competitive school with 3.7, retook a class and got accepted with a 3.82. I am now in the mindset where I ALWAYS strive for 4.0 in every class I take, you should do the same. Do what it takes for that 4.0

I got in with a 3.8, seemed to be the standard for most schools in my area

Wow I have a. 3.57

Call your DON and ask if they can give you any information on the lowest GPA that is usually accepted

Well last year the average GPA of people accepted was only a 3.28. But a few years back the average GPA was a 3.57 so it varies.

I took my pre req's and transferred to Rutger's New Brunswick with a 3.88 GPA. Someone got in with a 3.0 and some people didn't get in with a 3.5+. GPA matters, but I think supplemental materials are as important.

It really depends on the school. Some places you can get in with a 3.5. Others you can have a 3.8 and still not get in. Ask the schools about the average accepted applicant's GPA

I'd like to add on to that. The school I transferred to looked at our overall GPA and science GPA.

Hi There.

Where I live, it's very competitive because there are so few spaces open each year. 3.75 to 4.0 is where the counselors tell you to aim. Even with that, I currently have a 4.0 and with the competition and my TEAS score of only 80%, I may not make the cut this year. Clock is ticking on my wait for an answer. I guess the higher your grades, the better, but it's not a guarantee depending on how impacted your program is.

3.75 is considered "safe" for my school, which is a community college with a very good reputation in my area.
