I’d say you have a good chance of getting in, although IU doesn’t value extracurriculars as much as GPA and test scores (especially GPA). Knowing your weighted GPA would really help

3

Based on your test scores and GPA, I’d say it’s a “maybe.” It’s going to depend on you class rank and how highly IU values the essays and teacher reqs. About 85% of the admits in 2014 had higher SAT scores and GPAs than yours. Your AP classes might help.

my high school doesn’t rank

they also just held my application and they want new test scores and my senior semester grades :frowning:

Try the ACT if you haven’t. I thought it was easier and did better than the SAT

7

980 cr+m is probably not gonna cut it.

Try the ACT. IU likes high ACT/SAT scores, and if you can do well on that - high 20s for ACT or above, it will help.

If you are intent on being in Indiana, you might also apply to Purdue; or IU-PU-I, in Indianapolis. Also, Ball State.

What other schools are you applying to?

What state are you in?
Why Indiana?

Can you afford the OOS tuition?

Congrats on the Butler scholarship! And on all of your acceptances so far!

Good luck on your IU app!

I’m an IU alumnus and yes, it is a beautiful campus and Bloomington is a wonderful town.

@MrAccountant They still haven’t gotten back to me which is odd… I sent my mid semester grades in a week ago and they received them
