<p>Does anyone know the average gpa to get into the design dept?</p>
<p>I haven’t a clue what you’re asking. </p>
<p>“Design dept” ??? That could mean several things. ComDes, Fasion Design, etc.</p>
<p>And do you mean high school gpa? You’re admitted to a school (ie Sam Fox, Olin, etc), not to a specific major/dept.</p>
<p>And if you mean college gpa, that’s a nonsensical question.</p>
<p>Edit: looking at your other posts, I’m assuming you’re looking for your son, who wants a graphic design-ish kind of program. That would be ComDes. </p>
<p>At WashU, you are admitted into a school, not a major. In this case, it would be SamFox. Even in the art school, he’s going to need a really strong gpa (a ~3.0 has almost no chance of getting in), great test scores, and a strong portfolio.</p>
<p>[Note: when I say 3.0, I’m basing this on the OP’s other posts. I actually know someone who was admitted to WashU with a 2.x, but he had phenomenal test scores, had done a ton of research in high school, and he had an IB diploma].</p>
