<p>What is the lowest uw gpa someone has had that you know of that got into Stanford?</p>
<p>You can check the GPA of the entering class in the CDS. The lowest GPA mentioned in the CDS for the 2013-2014 class was between 2.5 and 2.99. I believe this is a weighted GPA measure. Note that this sub 3.0 student was likely heavily hooked. Among unhooked applicants, there was a thread about someone on this forum being accepted with a 3.4 UW a few years ago. My HS GPA was in this 3.4/3.5 range as well (several years ago, GPA for college courses taken in HS was 4.0). Scatterplots on Cappex show a similar pattern with acceptances becoming almost non-existent at much below 3.5. The vast majority of students have grades towards the top of their HS class, as you’d expect, which at most HSs is near 4.0.</p>
