what is the average gpa that will get you into UConn?

I would say that 3.0 (about a B-) is average. Admissions aren't just looking at GPA though. They want to see what types of classes you are taking...AP, honors, etc. Also, be sure to apply as early as you can...they have rolling admissions (this means they might run out of room...even if you are a qualified student). I know someone who was president of her class, had a 3.2 GPA, decent SATs and did not get into UConn because they had no more room! She had to transfer in after a semester at Southern CT. Good Luck!

Definitely a 4.0, but you have to offer much more then good grades on your transcript (extra curricular activities, sports, leadership... anything that really stands out). They're looking for people with a wide range of talents. Its sad, but its true if your a women you'll have a better chance, and if your ethnographic. Harvard is one of the absolute most prestigious university's to get into... but there are plenty other well respected colleges that aren't as competitive to get admission.

I would hesitate to pick any team at this point.  There are some good ones (UConn, Duke, Illinois) - so bracketing will be everything.\n\nBut you can't really argue with UConn's results, so I would take them at this early stage.

Hola! Your college GPA is good. You could probably get into GW, but NYU may be a stretch. The fact you did really well in high school will help. The quality of your current institution will also be taken into consideration. A 3.48 from UVA is stronger than the same from, lets say Virginia Tech.\n\nYou should apply to both schools as well as a safety. Have nyu be your reach, GW be your most likely, and then a safety school.\n\nYou may also want to consider Georgetown, but NYU will be harder to get into. Good luck!!!

First of all, I am not sure what the IV Ivy Leagues are, but I go to an Ivy, and there are 8, not 4. \nAlso, there really is no cutoff for getting into these college. There are averages that students generally fall into, but they are not set in stone. \nFor example: When I was applying, most candidates had a 1400 or above out 0f 1600 on their SATs, but I know people who only achieved a 1050 and still were admitted. \nDo not be discouraged by your scores. You can take the test over if you please, but remember that all parts of your application, ie. gpa, essays, extracurricular activities, and recommendations are also VERY important in the process of getting you admitted. \nThe process is not as strict as it seems and they might just accept you based on your great personality!\n\nGood Luck!

Usually it depends on the subject you are going to follow\n\nI will give you an example for sciences:\n\nyou will need Math 12, Physics 12, Chemistry 12, Language 12,\nEnglish 12, and another official course of choice. the GPA is based only on these courses.\n\nthe GPA cut-offs is usually about 80% to 90%.

The types that grades that you need is different for every university or college that you apply.  \n\nCollege admissions offices look at the whole individual when students apply.  The things that they look at are GPA, type of classes that you take (AP, College Prep, etc), test scores, personal statement, recommendations and interviews.  Therefore, if you don't have the best grades, but you are very involved and have an incredible essay and recommendations, you can get into a university.  \n\nThe better question to ask is what is the college or universities acceptance rate is... acceptance rate is the percent of students that are accepted to the university out of the total number of students that apply.  If you want to find this answer very quick, you can visit the following website:\nhttp://www.collegeboard.com\n\nJust search the schools that you are interested in, and you'll find the acceptance rate and much more information about the university.  \n\nAlso, if you're very curious, call the admission office at the universities or colleges that you are interested in.  Tell them information about yourself (gpa, test scores, etc), and they'll be able to give you a good idea of whether you would be accepted to the school or not.  They will not give you a definite answer, but they will be able to give you a good idea.\n\nI hope this helps... good luck!

Perfect grades, SAT scores, etc.... THEN, you have to add on the extras. Get involved, really involved. Don't just volunteer somewhere and log a few hours on a resume, become critical to an organization (and get a great letter of recommendation). Take college courses early, for fun and for the challenge of it. No fluff will be allowed... you really have to be the top, best, brightest, and most genuine thinker to even be considered. If you are not, don't waste your time applying, you will be just one of many wanna-bees. Yale is no joke.... you have to be at a level that scares most people... it is not like a purse to show your friends ("Hey, look, I go to Yale... isn't that neat!")!

Yeas, it is a pretty hard university to get into. But if you love math, and your previous high school or university transcripts show it, then you will get in.

Yes, a 2.9 GPA is a C average. Here's how to figure it out: \nA = 4.0, B = 3.O, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, and F = study! You're basically finding the average of the numbers that correspond to the grades you've received to figure out your GPA.

It depends on how your school measures GPA and at what percentage.  Most schools I have run into go by the following rules:\n\n92 - 100% = 4.0 (A)\n90 - 91.9 = 3.7 (A-)\n87 - 89.9 = 3.4 (B+)\n82 - 86.9 = 3.0 (B)\n80 - 81.9 = 2.7 (B-)\n77 - 79.9 = 2.4 (C+)\n72 - 76.9 = 2.0 (C)\n70 - 71.9 = 1.7 (C-)\n67 - 69.9 = 1.4 (D+)\n62 - 66.9 = 1.0 (D)\n60 - 61.9 = 0.7 (D-)\n 0 - 59.9 = 0.0 (E/F)\n\nIf in University, the classes are weighted by credit values (a 4 credit class valued at 8 times as much as a 0.5 credit class).  Some schools don't have a D- scoring...some have no D+.  In High School, some schools weigh AP classes on a 5.0 scale (theoretically enabling someone to get more than a 4.0).  Some schools base letter grades on 8 percentage points instead of 10 (i.e. 91% = B+).  Without more information, the best I can do is say that you probably have slightly less than a 3.0 average...take it for what it's worth.

It really depends on what school you want to go to and where. The best school in my state is selective and accepts those only with a 3.5 or higher. You will have to look at each individual school and see what their standards are. Applying never hurts!

Without knowing your SAT scores, it's hard to say.  But keep in mind that if you are at a top prep school, the admissions officers will take that into consideration when looking at your GPA.  If you do very well on the SAT, if your letters of recommendation are great, and if your essay is literate and well-composed, you should do fine, and you might even be able to shoot higher than you think.\n\nA decent SAT score should give you an excellent shot at these very good colleges:\n\nCollege of William and Mary*\nUniversity of Richmond\nUniversity of Connecticut\nUniversity of Vermont\nUniversity of Virginia*\nBoston College\n\n* = aspirational schools - harder to gain admissions\n\nLower SAT?\n\nRoger Williams U\nClark University \nQuinnipiac U\nFairfield U\nUNH\n\nOh, and "pre-law" is not a major.  To get into law school later, choose a major that focuses on writing and critical thinking.   History is a great choice, but just choose something you love, and do very well in that major.  Law schools don't care what you major in, but they DO care whether you can read closely and critically, and write well.\n\nBest wishes to you!

Depends on what college/university you want to go to.\n\nCommunity colleges and Junior colleges are easier to get into.  I would suggest you go to the websites of the colleges/universities that you are interested in and see what their requirements are.\n\nAlthough your GPA is important, your SAT score is also important, along with your extracuricular activities and community service.\n\nMy son just got into a top 10 private university for the fall.  His GPA was 5.81 out of 6, but he had a high SAT score and wrote a great essay with his application.

3.5 probably won't cut it, especially considering that most of the students who apply to Stanford have taken extremely tough classes and still have a 4.0. But the important thing is being a well-rounded student. Are you an officer in a lot of clubs? How are your SAT scores? You'll have to score around 2200 to make up for your low GPA. Definitely apply! It's better than always wondering if you might have made it. Good luck!

It's okay, not outstanding or anything.. 49% of students had a GPA of 3.75 or higher in high school. But your SAT scores and other factors have something to do with it also. Apply. If you get in, great. If not, at least you know. It's worse to not apply and keep wondering if they would have accepted you. Just do it! And you have time to improve that. :)

your overall gpa and SAT plus exrtracurriculars are what get you in school. Most times the numbers matter most, but ECA's help a lot too.
