Some numbers for the freshman class

<p>As reported in the B-ton paper this morning. (Sorry, but a link won't work. I couldn't find the info at the IDS or IU news sites)</p>

<p>Average SAT up again to 1203. Up 29 points compared to fall 2008</p>

<p>Approximately 7340 enrolled. I believe IU was predicting about 7100 given the uncertain economy. </p>

<p>64% instate</p>

<p>Record 33,000 applicants</p>

<p>Overall 36% are in the top 10% of their classes. 72% in the top quarter. The numbers for instate students were about 40% and 77% respectively.</p>

<p>Minority enrollment was up 1% to 13.2%</p>

<p>Indiana students with SATs above 1300 increased by 19% with a 50% increase in enrollment. </p>

<p>The one number missing from the article was the 25-75th percentile numbers for the freshman class. </p>

<p>I'd expect a similar article from the IDS that can be linked soon.</p>

<p>McRobbie and trustees are atributing the high numbers to the automatic scholarships. No mention of the economy, but I'm sure it played a big roll also.</p>

<p>Thanks for the stats, rrah.</p>
