What GPA do you need to get into Binghamton University?
Binghamton University’s own Common Data Set (2025-26, item C12) reports an average high school GPA of 3.88 for its enrolled first-year students who submitted a GPA (100% of them submitted one). It is an average, not a cut-off: many enrolled students were below it. The CDS does not say whether the figure is weighted, so treat it as a guide rather than a target.

Plenty of enrolled students were below the 3.88 average, especially those with a strong upward trend, a demanding course load, or test scores near the top of the range. Use the estimator above to see where you stand.

Estimate your odds
The estimator above starts from Binghamton University’s acceptance rate and moves it up or down with your GPA and SAT. It is a rough guide, not a prediction: it does not see your essays, course rigor or major. To plan the grades you need, try the college GPA calculator and the target GPA planner.
How to strengthen your application
Beyond the GPA range, focus on what you can still move: take the most challenging courses your school offers, keep your grades trending upward, prepare for the SAT or ACT if Binghamton University considers them, and write essays that show genuine fit.
