<p>Indiana parent here – if IU uses your weighted GPA and superscores your ACT, you are in pretty good shape, though with that ACT it could still go other way. Last I heard, IU takes the higher of weighted/unweighted GPAs. But, if that has changed in the last few years and they use unweighted, a 3.4 unweighted with 26/27 ACT is a “reach” for out of state applicant.</p>

<p>Instate, IU Bloomington admissions tells students they need a 3.6 unweighted and above a 28 to be confident about admissions. Below that, it is possible, depending on whether students took most rigorous curriculum, but not a sure thing. Parchment, which our kids use for transcripts, was pretty accurate about big school admissions decisions, and it can be sliced to look at only in-state, only out of state results etc. I don’t know that I would rely on the percentage predictions on that site, but you can certainly look at the dot-graphs and see whether there are mostly green admits or a sprinkling of red rejects for the past year. We didn’t have Naviance so it was useful for the big publics which relied more on stats and less on the essays. </p>

<p>Good luck, it is a long season, hang in there.</p>
