Ok so I’m worrying about my sat scores when applying to IU. I scored a 1080 on the SAT and my gpa is 3.9 (weighted). So I’m just wondering if this is good enough for a base, but I’m also taking the SAT again in August. I know that your gpa and SAT score isn’t the only thing that is looked at when you have applied but I was just trying to get some more info.
Your SAT is Iow for IU…see Section C9 of the common data set…25% EBRW is 580, 25% Math is 570. https://www.iu.edu/~uirr/reports/compliance/cds/2018/IUBLA/C
Without a hook, your scores will have to at least be above the 25% mark, ideally higher…taking the test again in August is a good idea, focus on your prep and take at least one timed practice test, ideally in a realistic setting.
IU will look at your courses, their rigor and your unweighted GPA (C7 in CDS, all rated as very important)…do you meet the minimum requirements in each core subject in c5 of the CDS? What is your unweighted GPA?
I do meet the minimum requirements for the core subjects, even in some areas have more credits than needed. My unweighted gpa is 3.7. Also another question should I go ahead and apply to IU or wait until I get my scores from the August SAT?
I would recommend you wait, do you have a GC at your high school to discuss this with?
What major/school are you thinking of applying to?
I haven’t decided yet on what major I am going to apply to, I have an internship this year so hopefully that answers some of my questions as to my future plans. Also I do have a GC at my school.
For anyone who is in the same situation I was in I just got accepted into IU! I took the SAT 3 times and the ACT once. My highest SAT score was 1080 and my ACT was a 25. My GPA was a 3.9 weighted and a 3.75 non weighted, and I also did not do a recommendation letter. Hope this helps!
Congratulations!!!
