What Is a Good GPA at Juilliard?

At Juilliard, conservatory performance evaluations carry as much weight as academic GPA. The average undergraduate GPA sits near 3.6, but admission and continued enrollment depend on artistic faculty review as much as on the cumulative number. Dean's List threshold is 3.5 cumulative.

The average undergraduate GPA at Juilliard sits near 3.60, drawn from the Juilliard registrar policy and aggregated reporting. Enter your courses in the calculator above to see where your cumulative GPA lands relative to that figure.

How Juilliard Calculates GPA

The Juilliard School (Juilliard) uses a 4.0 grade point scale and uses plus/minus modifiers (A-, B+, B-, and so on). The school caps A+ at the same 4.0 value as an A, which matters when converting letter grades from a transcript that records A and A+ separately. Each course's grade points multiply by its credit hours, those quality points sum across all courses, and the total divides by total credits attempted.

Juilliard GPA Formula

GPA = Sum(Grade Points x Credit Hours) / Sum(Credit Hours)

Where:

Grade Points = letter-grade value on the 4.0 scale
Credit Hours = credit value of the course on the Juilliard transcript
A+ = 4.0 (same as A on the standard scale)

Example: A 4-credit class with an A (4.0 points) and a 3-credit class with a B+ (3.3 points): quality points = 4 × 4.0 + 3 × 3.3 = 25.9, total credits = 7, GPA = 25.9 / 7 = 3.70.

Juilliard Grading Policy Notes

Juilliard is a conservatory rather than a comprehensive university; performance juries, ensemble assessments, and faculty studio reviews carry as much weight as classroom grades. The 4.0 scale applies to academic coursework only.

Academic Probation Threshold

Juilliard places students on academic probation when their cumulative GPA drops below 2.0.

Repeating a Course at Juilliard

Under Juilliard's repeat policy, the new grade replaces the old grade in the GPA calculation. This calculator treats every entered row as a distinct graded attempt; if your school replaces the old grade, leave off the original, and if both count, enter both lines. Always confirm the final transcript version with the registrar before relying on a projected GPA.

Grade Forgiveness at Juilliard

No. Juilliard does not offer grade forgiveness. Performance assessments and academic grades both contribute to academic standing, and repeats are uncommon in the conservatory model.
