There is no average GPA for admission to Miami, because some high schools give everyone As, and some give no one As. GPA is only one of many factors considered. (The average ACT score is between 24 and 27.)
The admissions office takes all of the following into account:
Class rank (6-semester cumulative)
Demonstrated leadership
Employment status during high school
Extra- and co-curricular involvement
First-generation college student status
Grade point average (cumulative gpa, grade trends)
Legacy status (family members that have graduated from Miami)
Letter(s) of recommendation
Life experiences
Obstacles overcome
Potential contributions to diversity (breadth of experience, geography, ideology, lifestyle, race/ethnicity, socio-economic status, world view)
Quality of high school (% of graduates going to 4-year colleges)
Significant extenuating circumstances
Socioeconomic status
Special abilities, talents, and achievements
Standardized test scores
Strength of high school curriculum (depth in each subject area, honors or accelerated courses, AP/IB courses)
Strong, ongoing commitment to social service and/or volunteer activities
Writing ability
Applicants are expected to have taken AT LEAST the following courses at the high school level:
English: 4 units
Math: 3 units, at least to the Algebra II level
Natural science: 3 units, including both a physical and biological science
Social science: 3 units, including one unit of history
