<p>Hello all,</p>

<p>I am a senior and will apply priority to IU (Liberal Arts College, neuroscience major)</p>

<p>I go to a competitive large public school in Illinois
I've had an upward trend in grades throughout high school.
Course load was kind of rigorous. I will have taken 6 AP's by the time I graduate (Latin Lit, Latin Vergil, US Hist, Calc AB, Psych, Bio) and several honors level classes.
W GPA: 2.96/4 (Weakest part of my app... did not try at all my freshman and soph years but got straight A's junior.)
UW GPA: 3.33/4
School doesn't rank
ACT: 31
EC's:
Part time job over summer</p>

<p>Visited a third world country over summer 2007 (2 months) to volunteer at elementary schools there and taught the kids basic English (abc's, simple words) and basic mathematics.</p>

<p>Went to the same third world country over summer 2009 to work with a team of doctors at a hospital to teach impoverished families about hygiene, different diseases, the importance of immunization, etc. Had direct patient contact with the people there. Amounts to ~ 200 hours.</p>

<p>Several state awards for Nat. Latin Exam, not much else.</p>

<p>I'm a resident of Illinois that will apply for financial aid.</p>

<p>What are my chances at the LAS college?</p>

<p>Thank you all</p>

<p>Your ACT score is fine, but the GPA is a bit low. You probably will be admitted though if you apply early. IU does not really look at EC’s. </p>

<p>I did notice you will need financial aid. You should be aware that IU does not guarantee to meet full financial need, especially for OOS students. </p>

<p>This thread is a few years old, but you should read it.</p>

<p>alright thanks for the help… it really would suck if I don’t get much money from them because my income is sub 40k… sigh… might have to scratch Indiana off the list.</p>

<p>I think you’ll be fine. I have a lower GPA (3.0) and lower ACT score (27), am also out of state, and I got accepted on Monday without any problems.</p>

<p>Very very good chances.</p>

<p>congrats… I will definitely apply asap.</p>
