Super embarrassed to ask this, but I'm feeling stressed. I'm a Hoosier hopeful, but I feel like my GPA isn't the best. Just to give myself some context, does anyone know what the average GPA of students at Indiana University is?
Of course, no need to feel embarrassed! A question about GPA is very reasonable. When it comes to Indiana University Bloomington, the average incoming freshman GPA usually hovers around a 3.7 on a 4.0 scale. This is for weighted GPAs, so AP, IB, and honors courses will give your GPA a boost. However, remember that the admissions committee doesn't solely focus on GPA. They will also consider other aspects of your profile such as your SAT/ACT scores, extracurricular involvement, and your personal essays. It's all about presenting a well-rounded application. If your GPA is slightly lower but other aspects of your application are strong, that can still paint a positive picture overall. Keep working hard and best of luck to you!
