What is the average GPA of the students who are admitted?
The average GPA of the 2007 incoming class was approximately 3.6 on a 4.0 scale, with a range of 2.4 to 4.0. The middle 50% of enrolled students acheived GPAs from 3.3 to 3.7. Keep in mind, though, that the admissions committee is much more interested in the details of your transcript than in the total GPA. Weak grades in your freshman year, or in an unrelated class (like Chemistry, for example), will not greatly affect your chances for admission. However, a weak grade in a political science or economics course can affect your competitiveness even if the overall GPA appears to be good.
