Your SAT is pretty low. I would try the ACT and see if you do better on that.
Try searching for average GPA and SAT scores for IU/other colleges on Google.
What SAT score is requiered for indiana?
There’s not an explicit number required, but yours is significantly below the average admitted student.
My school naviance shows that students with below a 1060 sat score have been accepted
Ok. I never said it was impossible to get in with a 1060, just that 1060 is well below the average of admitted students. Obviously, some people have to be below the average and still get in.
Do you have any extracurricular hooks? As mentioned before, your academic scores are rather low for IU. You would not be directly admitted into a school but you still could get admitted to exploratory studies
I do have a few extracurricular things like I participated in 2 different clubs,volunteering at church for the needy,did some jobs, and tutored at my school tha’ts really it (my major is btw education)
Given what you said, I’d say IU would be a reach, but that if you write a kick*** essay, submit your app early, and explain your circumstances by completing the additional information section, you could certainly get in. Have you thought about IUPUI at all? Or Hoosier Link?
Nah just really Indiana University tbh I plan on doing a early admission hopefully my essay will be good ill also try teacher rec’s (Just incase) i think it would look good giving them a holistic view about me what does IU really look for in a essay? what can make a “Kick a**” essay?
IU is a stats driven school. I would highly doubt your essay will make much of a difference. Your scores and GPA fall well into the ranges that get accepted from our school. We’ve had kids accepted with under 1000 on the SAT. They have a very high acceptance rate.
Interesting response iubaccounting told me here in this chat that my scores are below average also on IU’s website the 50th%ile for SAT scores are 1140
