Is there a minimum GPA requirement?

There is no specific GPA cut-off, but we expect that competitive Scholars will have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above. As part of a holistic review, we go beyond GPA to look for demonstrations of distinguished achievement, engagement, and leadership. In addition, we consider unmet financial need and involvement with the Cooke Foundation. In 2024, the average cumulative GPA of selected applicants was 3.77; however, GPA alone is not a deciding factor.
