<p>In the online Common Data Set files for many colleges, you can find average HS GPAs for entering freshmen (as well as class rank distributions). Example:
<a href=“University of Florida - Common Data Set”>http://www.ir.ufl.edu/OIRAPPS/commondataset/c_ftic_admission.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>However, a high school GPA, by itself, does not mean too much. Is your 3.4 weighted or unweighted? What’s your class rank? Do most students at your HS go on to college?</p>

<p>If your school offers access to Naviance, you can look up application outcomes for applicants from your HS with various combinations of GPA and test scores.</p>
