<p>family connections: uncle, grandmother are IU graduates, father attended but transfered.</p>
<p>interested in finance/investment banking, i know i wont be a direct admit but planning to apply regular decision to kelley during my freshman year (if i get into IU and attend)</p>
<p>so, what are my chances?</p>
<p>You're in. ECs don't mean anything for IU admissions, but your
stats are good enough.</p>
<p>thanks, i sent in the online part (basic info, ecs, etc) and i have the form i need to have my guidance counselor fill out. im retaking the ACT on the 25th, should i wait and send the counselor sheet in with my ACT scores (in case i raise the score)? or should i just send it now with my 28 act score?</p>
<p>Just make sure you get it in before November 1st--which is the deadline for many of the scholarship offers. These offers will either decline or go away completely once that November 1st deadline passes--and you don't want to lose "free" money for your education.</p>
<p>well since the act test isnt until oct 25, it wouldnt be possible to have scores in by nov1. do you guys think i will be fine getting in with a 28 act? the scholarship money is a factor, but id rather wait and get in with no money than rush my stuff in only to get denied.</p>
<p>I got in today with similar stats. I had a 29 ACT, 3.4 GPA, and no class ranking released.</p>
<p>You should definitely be in.</p>
<p>wow, already? when did you apply?</p>
<p>so, i should i apply now with my 28 ACT score to insure that i have everything submitted by the November 1 deadline? Does this mean I can submit a higher ACT score later to be reconsidered for scholarships? im really anxious to have the application completely done, but definitely want to maximize my chances of acceptance.</p>
<p>I applied in early September.</p>
<p>A 28 ACT score is very good and I am sure it is above-average for Indiana. The acceptance rate is what? 80%? You have nothing to worry about.</p>
<p>I got in today with a 3.8 and 1870 SAT, and I'm OOS</p>
<p>You'll be fine</p>
<p>The acceptance rate to IU-B last year was approximately 65%. That's down from 80% in 2000 and 70% in 2006.</p>
<p>So, it's much more difficult than it was, but the school still accepts about 2 out of 3 applicants.</p>
<p>To put this in perspective, admission rates at Michigan are about 50% and at Illinois are about 70% and at Michigan State are around 80%.</p>
<p>P.S. The Indiana University system, unlike the University of California system, does not put out admission rates to specific programs (majors).</p>
