Sup everyone, I'm really interested in IU and trying to figure out what kind of GPA they typically require for admission. I want to make sure my grades are at least within the ballpark. Thanks for the help!
Hello! With regard to GPA requirements, Indiana University Bloomington does not have a stated minimum. However, to give you a rough idea, the middle 50% of admitted students' high school GPA typically falls between 3.7 and 4.0. This means that most students who are admitted have a GPA in this range.
However, a GPA within this range does not guarantee admission, as Indiana University also looks at other factors such as course rigor, class rank, recommendation letters, and extracurricular activities. Conversely, if your GPA is below 3.7, it does not mean you won’t be admitted.
Remember that they are looking for students who can be successful at the university. Admission officers understand that your GPA alone doesn't define you as a student, so they'll look at your application holistically, taking into account other achievements as well.
Keep working hard to maintain or improve your GPA, and try to challenge yourself with rigorous courses if you can!
