Q16: What is the average GPA?
A16: For U.S. students entering Wharton in September 2005, the average GPA is 3.5 on a 4.0 scale; however, as with the GMAT, there are no cutoffs. (International students or U.S. students who were not awarded GPAs from their undergraduate institutions should not translate their grades into a GPA score. If this is your situation, report your performance as it was recorded in your official academic records or transcripts.) In evaluating transcripts, the Admissions Committee does not focus on the GPA in isolation. The entire academic history is examined to reveal the rigor of the program, any trends of strength or weakness in specific areas, and any patterns of improvement. In addition, we factor into our evaluation any additional commitments (such as work or extracurricular activities) an applicant had while studying. We will also look at all classes taken since undergraduate, including additional graduate work. |
