Editor's notes

  • This one is a numbers check, not a read. GCU admits on unweighted GPA (2.8 gets you in) and offers a test-score route for 2.5 to 2.79. There's no essay to write, so spend your energy on finishing senior year with grades that keep you above the line, and on the scholarship pages.
