What are my chances of getting into IU Bloomington?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Indiana University - Bloomington

I am an out of state applicant from Tennessee, and I want to know what are my chances of getting into IU Bloomington. I am a junior, and I have a 3.65 unweighted GPA. I have taken all honors classes since freshman year, and I have taken AP US History and AP Human Geography. It is worth noting that during my senior year I will be taking AP Calculus, Biology, Literature, and Psychology. I am in Orchestra, FBLA, HOSA, and the Biology Olympiad, and I also volunteer at Lebanour at least once a month. I take the ACT some time this year. What are my chances?

Very good assuming your SAT/ACT is on par with your unweighted GPA. Your class rigor should bring up your GPA. Keep it going, and study for your testing…You will be fine.

Get in the habit of googling target colleges’ “common data sets” and look at section C, which has GPA and test ranges of admitted students. You can compare yourself

Agree with BigPapi

Agree, look at the Common Data Set data for IU. Getting into the University is one thing, getting into your Major program is another thing. What are you wanting to go to IU to study? Are you looking at Kelly, Jacob’s, etc. ? Assuming your SAT or ACT is on par with your GPA, seems like you could get into the University but if you would be direct admit into you program of choice, can’t really tell.

I want to major in Biology @dcolosi

@Spartans901 Looks like you would need to raise your GPA to a 3.7 and need a 1320 SAT or 28 ACT for direct admit into the Biology program. Depending on what you do you probably could get admitted to the University and then after your first year apply to the College of Arts and Sciences. Or if you can get your SAT Score to the minimum you could always petition for direct admit.

One other thing to keep in mind, November 1 is the cut off for most scholarships.

IU uses the applicants highest GPA, weighted or unweighted, in their calculations. Given the rigor of your courses, I imagine that your weighted GPA is much higher than 3.65 already, so you should be fine for direct admission to Bio in that respect. But you will need to achieve the required standardized test score. Good luck!
