<p>Do you think there's a "minimum" GPA you must have to be accepted as a first-year? What's the lowest GPA you've ever heard of an accepted student having?</p>
<p>I think a lot of us are wondering.</p>
<p>I don’t think there a stated minimum, but from reading the threads from accepted students this year and last I dont recall seeing anything much below 3.5. Of course, if a member of certain minority groups, recruited athlete, etc, maybe a little lower??</p>
<p>Do you mean high school GPA? If yes, I think anything below 3.5 would be very unlikely.</p>
<p>I think that you really need to be above a 3.7 unweighted to have a solid chance.</p>
<p>So my resume is exemplary in terms of SATs, ECs, essays, etc, but my unweighted GPA is a 3.69. I have no hooks, unless being Jewish is a hook at Georgetown.</p>
<p>Do you think regular acceptance into SFS is out of the question?</p>
<p>The GPA can’t really be taken all by itself. Was it all As in academic classes or Bs, but brought up due to As in electives? Is it a hard or easy grading school? What rigor did you take, etc? Basically…I think RANK, when added to the GPA will tell Georgetown a truer story.</p>
<p>I’ve seen people get in with lower than a 3.5 GPA so I don’t think you should be fretting about “minimum” GPA and worry about how well-regarded your school is and write a spectacular essay if your GPA isn’t that great. </p>
<p>Also, SFS is harder to get into than Georgetown College, junyer</p>
