Freshman Year GPA

Colleges and Universities A-Z Wellesley College

Hey guys!

So, I got a guaranteed transfer at an Ivy, and I’m looking among my choices of which school I should attend for the first year. The thing is, I need a 3.5 GPA for my first year. I know Wellesley is known for harsh grading (though I know they got rid of the inflation policy), so is this achievable (without an extreme amount of effort), or should I look elsewhere?

Thanks!

i can’t speak on actual class difficulty but from what i’ve heard, your first semester is shadow graded (every class is pass/fail). if you’re just concerned about your first year, i think that’s one of the best options.
