Admission to IU is selective, and we review each application for its individual merits and qualities. In particular, we consider factors that emphasize academic performance and preparation, the strength and quality of the high school curriculum, recent grade trends, and class rank. More than 50 percent of admitted freshmen rank in the top 25 percent of their high school class.
IU requires official scores on the ACT or the SAT. You can submit scores from either test; if you submit more than one set of scores, we'll consider the highest scores. The average SAT score for incoming freshmen is 1108.
