Via the FAU News Desk:


Florida Atlantic University’s incoming freshman class boasts the highest GPA in the university’s history. For the fall semester, the average high school GPA for first-time-in-college (FTIC) students is a 3.96, up from a 3.82 last fall.

“FAU has increased its admissions standards, and this number reflects that,” said FAU Provost Gary W. Perry. “We are committed to attracting high-achieving students, and we will continue to improve FAU’s academic reputation.”


FAU received more than 20,500 freshman applications and more than 8,300 transfer applications for fall.

I remember during my graduation in fall 2011, President Saunders said that FAU is becoming the 1st choice for a lot of incoming freshmen. I believe they said they received 12,000 freshmen applications.
