What GPA is needed for Indiana University?

Hey guys, I'm just looking into Indiana University and I'm not sure if my GPA is solid enough. Have any idea what typical GPA they accept?

Indiana University Bloomington generally looks for students who have a competitive GPA in the context of their high school's curriculum. According to Fall 2023 data, the middle 50% GPA range of admitted freshmen was 3.72–4.0 on a 4.0 scale.

However, this doesn't mean you should be discouraged if your GPA is lower. Keep in mind that the university uses a holistic admissions approach. They will consider your academic achievements in the context of your personal and educational experiences. This means that beyond just your GPA, Indiana University is also looking at other aspects of your profile like your course rigor, extracurricular involvement, and application essays.

Your personal qualities, talents, and the level of rigor in your academic program will also be considered. If you're still in high school, keeping up your academic strength via maintaining or improving your GPA and taking challenging courses, demonstrating leadership in activities are all ways to strengthen your application.

Remember, a GPA is just one aspect of your application. What matters as well is the quality of your high school classes. Admission offices pay close attention to course rigor and prefer students who challenge themselves with advanced classes, when available. Taking honors, Advanced Placement (AP), or International Baccalaureate (IB) courses can also contribute positively to your application.
