�������ϲ���ʷ��¼’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) students is a 3.96, up from a 3.82 last fall.

“�������ϲ���ʷ��¼ has increased its �������ϲ���ʷ��¼ standards, and this number reflects that,” said �������ϲ���ʷ��¼ Provost Gary W. Perry. “We are committed to attracting high-achieving students, and we will continue to improve �������ϲ���ʷ��¼’s academic reputation.”

�������ϲ���ʷ��¼ 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. �������ϲ���ʷ��¼’s Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College at the John D. MacArthur Campus in Jupiter will welcome 143 new students for this semester.

Thousands of on-campus residential students returned to campus this week during �������ϲ���ʷ��¼’s Move-In Day. �������ϲ���ʷ��¼ President John Kelly joined faculty, staff and student volunteers in assisting new students 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 students living on campus in Boca and 282 students living on campus in Jupiter.
