<p>Hey, I was thinking of applying to IU-B as a political science major. I did some research on the school and am really liking it. I don't think my stats are up to par though..what do you think?</p>
<p>3.7 W GPA
27 ACT (I want to retake this and try to improve my score)
Lots of EC's
Out of State.</p>
<p>Moderate Reach? Or too much of a stretch?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance</p>
<p>you'll get in...i applied back in september with 3.494 gpa and 30 ACT and I was accepted first week of october....by the way i saw you post on the psu board and i also applied there and i'm dying to hear back.</p>
<p>Haha ya! </p>
<p>It is so annoying how inconsistent they are with their notification!
PSU is my number one but I am starting to apply to other places because I don't think I'm gonna get it in lol.</p>
<p>Thanks for responding! :)</p>
<p>Ha yeah np...I'm freaking out about PSU though cause it's also my number one but my GPA isn't super high though...I think my ACT could make up for it plus I have some good EC's but who knows..I just can't wait to hear.</p>
<p>Everyone on that posts says that your GPA worth 2/3 of chances or something like that but I don't think that's true. My sister got it with a 3.3 and 2030 on her SAT last year so I definitely think high test scores help for lower GPAs.</p>
<p>Good luck!!</p>
<p>did your sister get accepted for fall or for the summer session?</p>
<p>Tilohnine, did your sister have lots of APs and Honors courses? And what college at UP did she apply to (ie Communications,Education, Liberal Arts ....)? Just curious :-)</p>
<p>Btholl- she applied for fall and got in.</p>
<p>Choirmom- she applied to school of education and had a lot of EC's. Only two APs and one honors course. This was last year though and it seems that PSU has gotten more competitive since then.</p>
<p>i got in with a 3.39 GPA and a 28 ACT</p>
<p>ok thats good, I feel a lot more optimistic now. Interpol what month did you hear from them?</p>
<p>im OOS and got in with a weighted 3.2 and a 27 ACT.</p>
<p>I would be shocked if you did not get in.</p>
<p>I have a 3.66, ACT 30 and I got in Prefer admit to the business school. This is by no means a stretch for you, actually more of a safety. But get your stuff in ASAP, or else your chances of getting in get smaller.</p>
<p>this thread is getting really confusing.....I know it's titled under IU-Bloomington, but you guys are talking about PSU???</p>
<p>yeah it is confusing i just said something about psu because i saw tilohnine post on the psu board</p>
