Chances at IU??

Colleges and Universities A-Z Indiana University - Bloomington
1

<p>IU is one of my top choices and I have sent in my application and applied into the journalism department. I visited the campus and had one-on-one meetings with an admissions counselor, a journalism advisor, and the student newspaper advisor. I also attended 2 different schools so my weighted GPA is all honors/ap classes weighted (my new school doesn't weight honors/ap courses taken out of district so I am sending 2 transcripts) I also attend a top tier high school in CA that sends many graduates to top tier universities (Stanford, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Penn)</p>

<p>My UW GPA is 3.23
Weighted: 3.98
SAT: M: 650
CR: 590
W: 570
Have multiple extracurriculars including student newspaper (3 years) summer jobs at marketing company, democratic committee, and continued an anti-bullying program at my new school from my school in maryland.
I am also including a personal statement and extracurricular list.
Let me know what you guys think, opinions greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>You should have no troubles getting in, especially if you’ve applied this early into the game. Good luck!</p>

<p>hahaha thanks leila but i knew you would say that! (its jordan)</p>

<p>im sending 2 transcripts from different schools, my current one says my weighted is a 3.4, but the other one, which has my classes taken at my old school as weighted, would give me that 3.98 weighted.</p>

12

<p>How long did it take for you to get your decision and did you find out just by checking the online status?</p>

13

<p>^^ Yes, I do. :)</p>

14

<p>Well, I submitted the application Sept. 14, and found out Sept. 30 that I got in. Yeah I checked online but I receieved notification originially via a phone call to make sure that they had gotten all of my application materials (they said in the phone call that as of that day I was admitted)</p>

15

<p>Have they updated your online status? I sent my stuff in on the third and still haven’t been notified though they’ve sent me my Wells Scholarship stuff so I know they got it. Idk…it’s getting tiring just waiting</p>

<p>altfb11: What Wells Scholarship stuff? Do you mean nomination materials? If so, huge congratulations!</p>

<p>that’s so weird, yeah they updated mine… idk if you’re cool with it but I called the office of admissions and they were really helpful about everything. they told me I was in before the online status was updated.</p>
