How to use this GPA snapshot
This page summarizes published GPA-related admissions indicators for University of Alberta on a 4.0 scale. Minimum GPA is a floor many applicants should clear; average admitted GPA reflects the middle of a competitive pool and is usually higher.
GPA is only one part of holistic review. Test scores (where used), essays, recommendations, coursework rigor, and program capacity also matter. Always confirm requirements on the school’s official admissions site before applying — published averages change by year and campus.
