Hello everyone. I'm a junior and I've been thinking about applying to Indiana University. I took the SAT recently, and I'm trying to figure out if my score is competitive enough. Can anyone provide some insight into what the average accepted SAT score is there? Thanks in advance!
Hello! For Indiana University, specifically for the Bloomington campus, the middle 50% SAT scores for admitted students tend to fall between approximately 1160 and 1380. This means that 25% of admitted students have SAT scores below 1160 and 25% have SAT scores above 1380.
If your score falls within this range, you're in a good spot. If your score is above this range, that's even better. However, remember that SAT scores are just one part of the application. Your grades, coursework, and personal statements, among other things, will also be taken into account.
Also, even if your score is below those ranges, don't lose hope. There are plenty of students who are admitted with scores below the middle 50% - that's why it's the middle 50%, not 100%. The best strategy is to focus on what you can control, like your grades and activities, and work on presenting a well-rounded, thoughtful application overall.
