Hope College generally requires a strong GPA for admission, with the average GPA of admitted students being around 3.83 on a 4.0 scale. You should aim to have mostly A's, ideally with some AP or IB classes to demonstrate college preparation. The GPA range for admitted students typically falls between 3.3 and 3.7 for the middle 50%, with many admitted students having a weighted GPA around 4.0 or higher. The college is considered extremely competitive academically based on GPA, though its acceptance rate is relatively high at about 76%, meaning as long as you are near or above this GPA average, you have a good shot at admission. If your GPA is at or below 3.83, you'll likely need a stronger SAT score to compensate and remain competitive for admission at Hope College.
If you were asking about the HOPE Scholarship (a different context, typically Georgia state-related), the minimum GPA requirement to maintain eligibility is generally a 3.0 cumulative HOPE GPA at specific credit hour checkpoints. Please clarify if you meant the GPA requirement for Hope College admission or the HOPE Scholarship GPA requirement.
