The requirement, not a prediction
No single numeric cutoff is recorded in this snapshot. That does not imply that all grades are competitive or that there are no academic requirements.
How to use this information
- Use Mizzou’s core-course GPA definition, not an enrolled-student university GPA.
- Required high-school coursework and program-specific criteria still matter.
- A lower GPA does not by itself tell you whether comprehensive review is available.
First-year, transfer and enrolled GPA are different
This page covers first-year admission. A university course calculator measures entered coursework after enrollment and must not be treated as a high-school admission recalculation. Keep the source’s scale and course set attached to any number you compare.

Does Mizzou require a 3.0 GPA?
Do not use 3.0 as a universal cutoff. With test scores, the published requirements depend on ranking status and the score/GPA combination. Test-optional applicants receive a separate review. The official tables and exceptions should be checked together.
Mizzou transfer GPA requirements
The main transfer pathway lists 2.5 college GPA plus a qualifying math or English composition grade. Fewer than 24 college-level credits also triggers freshman requirements. A separate 2.0 pathway applies to qualifying two-year-college AA or Missouri CORE 42 records. These are not freshman GPA cutoffs.
