What these numbers mean
- The average and the bands describe first-years who enrolled in Fall 2025, not everyone who was admitted, and only those with a high school GPA on file (89.9% of the class).
- The Common Data Set does not say whether these GPAs are weighted or unweighted. UNC Chapel Hill's average of 4.47 is above 4.0, so it is not a plain 4.0-scale average.
- UNC prints 5,084 full-time and 7 part-time first-years; the enrolled total here adds them up.
