Can I get in?

<p>Hi, sophomore is high school here.
I really want to get into IU, but just don't know if I have the ability to.
I have a pretty low GPA at the moment (Under 3.0), but I've really started to pick things up. I'm planning on ending high school with around a 3.20.
I go to a well known high school in Indiana and most people from here go to IU.
I'm on the cross country team and I volunteer on a regular basis.
I'm also a white male.
Do I have a chance?</p>

<p>That low GPA will hurt you for consideration. IU looks at a 3.0 as a minimum. See this site if you’ve not already done so: <a href=“Freshman Applicants: How to Apply: Office of Admissions: Indiana University Bloomington”>Freshman Applicants: How to Apply: Office of Admissions: Indiana University Bloomington;

<p>Realistically how how can you get your GPA by the end of your junior year? That is the GPA that will be used for admission. </p>

<p>You need to do well on your SATs. Class rank will also come into play. Apply very early your Sr. year. </p>

<p>D got into UI direct admit to Kelley school of Business with $10,000 scholarship per year into the honors program.
She also got into UCR with $5000 scholarship per year.
She also got into UCI as undeclared.
These are the choices we have and we live in California.
Unable to make a decision, since indian is so far away and is cold during winters.
Any input on the decision?</p>
