What is the average GPA for an incoming W&M student?
There is no average GPA for incoming W&M students. Academic potential is evaluated from a combination of GPA, choice of curriculum, and curriculum rigor. We evaluate an applicant’s academic achievement within the context of his/her high school. Grades are weighted differently within each school system. Therefore, we do not recalculate GPAs to a 4.0 scale. Likewise, rigor of curriculum is based on what is offered at that particular high school. Class rank, if provided, can be helpful in determining a students academic potential; approximately 80% of admitted students are in the top 10% of their high school graduating class.
