<p>Well, ur GPA might hurt you, but your ec’s are really strong. And your SAT are good as well</p>

<p>Send your ACT and SAT scores. GPA–unweighted will hurt. Does your transcript show weighted? That would put you at about the average mark I believe. IU looks at class rank–this will hurt you a bit also. The rigor of you schedule will help though. IU doesn’t look at EC’s. You’re very best option is to apply EARLY–no later than mid September for the best chance.</p>
