<p>Going to be a senior next year, and never really thought getting into IU would be a problem for me, but the stats I'm seeing on various websites has me rethinking that...</p>
<p>white female, first generation college student
3.3 unweighted GPA
1250/1840 SAT (taking it again in the fall, I think I can bring it up)
might take the ACT? Haven't decided...</p>
<p>2 AP's so far (Art History and English) and I'm taking 2 more next year, took the AP Art History exam in the spring and think I did well (probably a 4)</p>
<p>Not much in the way of ECs. Did marching band for a year, debate for a year. </p>
<p>I have taken a lot of electives, though. I don't even know if that matters, but I've been in art classes every semester since 9th grade.</p>
<p>What mostly worries me is that I got 2 C+'s second semester this year, and I know colleges care about your junior year a lot. </p>
<p>I also didn't go to school at all for a year due to really personal circumstances, but I'm still not sure how it will even look on my transcript or how any of that will work. I haven't decided if it's something I want to explain in my application...</p>
<p>I know that my GPA is on the low side for IU, but what really worries me is that my ECs are basically non-existent, I faltered during my junior year, and of course, the issue of me not attending for a year. I know I'm below average, but how far?</p>
