<p>I'm wondering what the Avg. GPA is for FSU. I've been looking into the University with hopes of applying for next year and I keep finding conflicting reports. Does anyone know the avg. "Recalculated' GPA, and the avg. U/W? Thank you.</p>

<p>3.6-4.1 25-29 act</p>

<p>The latest [FSU</a> Common Data Set at C12](<a href=“http://www.ir.fsu.edu/Common_Data_Set/2011-12/C.html]FSU”>http://www.ir.fsu.edu/Common_Data_Set/2011-12/C.html) shows an average GPA of 3.79.</p>

<p>This same report shows that 53.5% of FSU freshman had a GPA of 3.75 or higher on a 4.0 scale.</p>

<p>3.79!!!
Holy crap. That seems a lot higher than when i was applying a few years back!</p>

<p>What does 4.0 scale exactly mean? I have a Florida state residency but I’m living in Canada for the rest of this year because of my dads work.</p>

<p>Awesome! That’s what I thought apparently my GPA is a 3.65 without weights!</p>

<p>Be sure to count your GPA the way FSU counts it:</p>

<p>“Academic classes”</p>

<p>can you tell me if the following qualify for that I’m a bit iffy </p>

<p>Sociology
Issues in Humanity
Anthropology
Archeology
Western Civilization
Personal Social & Family relationships</p>

<p>Some may qualify. Use the below excerpt as a reference. Academic rigor is important.

<p>Hopefullynole, </p>

<p>From my son’s discussions with them concerning his senior year schedule, I believe sociology and western civilization are academic courses ( social science and history categories). They do not accept anthropology as a social science. I don’t know about archeology, but the others I don’t believe will qualify as academic courses. </p>

<p>Of course the best way to find out is to call!</p>

<p>I asked my teacher why they forced us to take these classes if they don’t even count as as academic courses and I was told they count them as history or social studies credits which means I will have 8 lol. She did tell me she wasn’t 100% sure and I should ask my counselor next time we speak.</p>

<p>The admission office at FSU is very helpful. Why don’t you email them and ask if any of your listed courses will be used to recalculate your GPA?</p>
