<p>According to CollegeData.com, there is no reported AVG GPA.
But according to the class of 2001 profile, it goes like 3.7uw/4.12w
Is this accurate? </p>

<p>I don't know if I should make some last minute changes to my college list and drop WFU because I never realized applicants had stellar gpa's.
I have around a 3.4 - 3.5 (uw). Not sure about (W), but not that great either.</p>

<p>What do you think? Is it even worth applying to WFU?
I know things like ECs, recs, essays, and SAT score can help admissions. But here i'm just looking at GPA-wise. Is it worth applying? Is my GPA already too low for WFU?</p>

<p>I've always heard that WF doesn't have an average GPA. It sounds like they look more closely at class rank--and that they try to get a sense of how hard your school is (i.e., greater break in rank expectations for students from really good school).</p>

<p>Assuming you like WF, I'd still apply. Even if that is the average, there are still 50% of the students with lower GPAs that helped create that average.</p>

<p>so many school use different scales for a GPA .. so there is really no average. if you go to a tough school, then you may be alright with the right SAT and EC's (wake loves a high SAT more than anything).</p>
