Once again, Grand Valley welcomed an outstanding freshman class whose average GPA is 3.53. Grand Valley offers a broad array of high quality academic and student life programs that attract students from across Michigan and the Midwest. There are 200 areas of study at Grand Valley and more than 200 student organizations.
"Grand Valley is large enough to offer the programs you would expect from a university, and yet small enough to provide students a personalized experience," said Lynn Blue, vice provost and dean of Academic Services and Information Technology. "The academic quality of the students enrolled at Grand Valley this fall is very impressive, in terms of their grade point averages, their test scores and their extra-curricular activities."
Applications are reviewed using a combination of high school courses completed, cumulative grade point average, standardized test scores, grade point trend, rank in class and other factors provided by the applicant. Jodi Chycinski, director of Admissions, said students who want to attend Grand Valley in fall 2007 should get their application in by December 2006.
