Grinnell College odds for a 3.9–4.0 unweighted GPA and a 31–33 ACT
Competitive
A student with an unweighted GPA of 3.9–4.0 and an ACT of 31–33 applying to Grinnell College is in the Competitive range. Grinnell College admits 13% of applicants, and the middle half of enrolled students submitted ACT scores of 31 to 34. At this band the estimate is about 8 in 100.
30% of enrolled first-years submitted an SAT score, 21% an ACT — these ranges describe students who submitted, not the whole class.
For this band, the estimate reads the middle of the band, an unweighted GPA of 3.95 and an ACT of 32, so a student's own numbers can land differently. It also weighs only the numbers; essays, activities and course rigor count too.
