Chances of getting into Indiana University - Bloomington?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Indiana University - Bloomington

I am a senior in high school and I applied to IUB in October, but have not heard back yet.

  • GPA: 3.5 (unweighted) 3.7 (weighted) my GPA may change because I have a few midterms coming up next week
  • SAT: 1060
  • ACT: will take next month
  • IB/Honors/DE Classes: IB German 4, US/VA Government, Dual Enrollment English 111 and 112
  • EC: Marching band and Wind Ensemble all four years of high school, Future Business Leaders of America member
  • Leadership/Awards: Marching band section leader for one year, International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IBMYP) certificate, AB honor roll 9th and 11th grade, and National German Exam Award.
  • Ethnicity: African American/Black
  • Gender: Female
  • Residence: Out of state
  • Intended Major: Business Management/HR Management

The school emailed me and suggested to me that I take another SAT or ACT (I took the SAT twice and 1060 was my highest score) to boost my competitiveness. So if I do well on the ACT, will IUB accept me?

Is 1060 your highest on one test or does that take your best section from each. IU will super score so they will take your highest Math, highest Critical Reading, etc. Its hard to move the needle much on GPA with just one semester so focus on your test scores. Looks like the test scores may be holding you back a bit.

I would double check to see if you actually submitted everything because you should have gotten a decision by now: https://admissions.indiana.edu/apply/deadlines.html

I would contact the admissions office if everything was submitted by November 1 and you still don’t have a decision.

The admissions person emailed me and told me that once I submit a higher test score, they will make their decision.
