Hunter College

Hunter College expects you to have a 3.46 GPA in high school and be in the middle of the class. You'll need a mixture of A and B grades, with only a few Cs. If your GPA is poor, you can make up for it by taking more difficult subjects such as AP or IB. This will help you improve your weighted GPA and demonstrate your college readiness.
It's difficult to modify your GPA in time for college applications if you're currently a junior or senior. You'll need a better SAT or ACT score to compensate if your GPA is at or below the school's average of 3.46. This will enable you to effectively compete against applicants with higher GPAs.
