Hey all. So Indiana is my home, and I'd love to stay here for college. Meanwhile, I'm looking for universities or colleges that won’t be a stretch for my GPA and test scores. Any tips?
Hello! If you're looking for more accessible colleges in Indiana, you have quite a few options.
One option you might consider is Indiana State University. This school has an acceptance rate of around 92% and truly values students who show potential and demonstrate improvement over their high school career.
Ball State University is another good option with an acceptance rate of just over 68%. While it's a bit more competitive than Indiana State, it's not quite as overwhelming as some of the more selective schools.
It doesn't end there, you also have the University of Southern Indiana which has a high acceptance rate. As well as Purdue University Fort Wayne, and Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) which have relatively high acceptance rates and offer a variety of programs.
Please remember, each of these schools is unique in its culture, curriculum, and campus life, so you'll want to find one that fits well with your personal and academic goals. It's a good idea to visit the individual school's website or ideally visit the campus (if you haven't already) to get a feel for what fits you.
In addition, keep an eye on the application deadlines and requirements (like essays or letters of recommendation) for each school. Regardless of where you apply, continue to work hard in your remaining time in high school. Good luck with your search!
