������ý’s incoming freshman class boasts the highest GPA in the university’s history. For the fall semester, the average high school GPA for first-time-in-college (FTIC) ������ý is a 3.96, up from a 3.82 last fall.

“������ý has increased its admissions standards, and this number reflects that,” said ������ý Provost Gary W. Perry. “We are committed to attracting high-achieving ������ý, and we will continue to improve ������ý’s academic reputation.”

������ý received more than 20,500 freshman applications and more than 8,300 transfer applications for fall. The total number of new freshmen enrolled at the Boca Raton campus is 3,243. ������ý’s Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College at the John D. MacArthur Campus in Jupiter will welcome 143 new ������ý for this semester.

Thousands of on-campus residential ������ý returned to campus this week during ������ý’s Move-In Day. ������ý President John Kelly joined faculty, staff and student volunteers in assisting new ������ý with carrying their belongings. Student residence halls at both the Boca Raton and Jupiter campuses are at 100 percent capacity this semester, with 4,150 ������ý living on campus in Boca and 282 ������ý living on campus in Jupiter.
