Presuming that a 51% means one is likely to be accepted, and 49% means one is likely to be rejected, I put her chances at around 35%. (Better than most applicants’ chances at being accepted at schools like Georgetown or USC, but worse (for her at IUB) than the chance of a random student getting into the University of Oregon or University of Missouri).

Also, if she is accepted already at IUE, she can transfer to IUB or Purdue in a year or two easily anyway.

P.S. As far as you getting in with a 410/560, congratulations–but if only 23% get in with 400s in reading and 17% with scores in the 400s for math, then the odds of getting 400s in both and getting in is therefore less than 1 out of 25. Granted out of 9,000 acceptees, that means maybe 215 or so will get in–but like I said the odds are not good. After all, these 215 are likely to be students with higher GPAs that just test poorly. As an example, I’ll bet that your GPA is higher than a 3.2 overall (weighted).
