Hello everyone! I'm interested in Lincoln University and wondering about their GPA requirements. Do they only look at weighted GPAs or do they consider unweighted GPAs too? Really hoping to get a clearer picture.
2 months agoHello! Lincoln University evaluates both your weighted and unweighted GPAs. Unweighted GPAs provide a general understanding of your academic performance across all your classes without added considerations from more rigorous courses. Weighted GPAs, on the other hand, take into account the complexity of the courses you chose, such as honors and AP classes.
As for Lincoln University’s GPA requirement, it varies by the program you apply to, but a good rule of thumb is that the university generally looks for a minimum unweighted GPA of around 2.0 on a 4.0 scale. However, this is just a baseline and many programs prefer a higher GPA.
Remember this is just a minimum and many accepted students have higher GPAs. Meeting the minimum won't guarantee admission as the university takes a holistic approach to applications, evaluating other factors such as your SAT/ACT scores, extracurricular activities, letters of recommendation, and personal essays.
So, while GPA is an important factor, it is not the only one. A strong application will show that you're well-rounded and engaged both in your academics and your community. Good luck with your application!
