<p>Hey guys, I have a friend that wants to get into Bloomington. Here are her stats.</p>
<p>870 SAT not including writing (if that matters)
Shes instate
Has alumni
Top half of her class
She has above a 3.0 GPA</p>
<p>I know the sats arent so hot but what about everything else?</p>
<p>How good do you think her chances are?</p>
<p>She applied pretty early as well.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Compare her scores and GPA to some of the posters on here that did not get admitted. The 25th %ile SAT scores were at 1030 according to the common data set. My D's high school--in Bloomington--states that 3.0 is sort of the minimum for IU and instate should be in at least the 50% for class rank--most are in the top 25% of their class. What kinds of courses did she take in HS? That will be a very important factor for her. The alumni (is it a parent or parents?) connection might help. I would guess it will be a reach, but I've been surprised by some of the posters that did and did not get it.</p>
<p>She is taking Precalc, Astronomy, American Sign Language, Economics, and the last english class in highschool.</p>
<p>She has some volunteer work as well.</p>
<p>Her alumni is her dad and her sister.</p>
<p>But yeah my sats werent great, like 410 and 560 and i got in. I looked on the sat website and 23 percent of students got sats in the 400 range for reading and 17 percent got 400 in math. I guess thats a pretty large chunk out of 29000 some students. Do you think she has atleast a moderate chance? I figure with her decent gpa, alumni and upper class that might out weigh the low sat scores. are you in agreement?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>slim. it looks like it is a reach</p>
