University of Saint Francis - Fort Wayne PA Program: Requirements, Tuition & Stats

• Middle-of-the-pack GPA — The average accepted overall GPA (3.6) is close to the national middle, so a solid-but-not-spectacular academic record is genuinely competitive here.

• The minimum is not the target — The stated minimum GPA is 3, but the average accepted is 3.6 — a gap of 0.60. Meeting the floor gets you screened in, not admitted.

• Small cohort — A class of 25 is well below the national median of 40. Expect more faculty contact and a tighter class culture — and fewer seats to compete for.

• Higher cost — In-state tuition of $116,585 is in the most expensive quarter nationally. Worth weighing against your expected starting salary and loan burden.

• Apply early — Admissions are rolling, so seats come off the board as the cycle goes. An application submitted in the first few weeks is worth more than the same application submitted in month four.
