Chance me for IU Bloomington :) [IN resident, 4.0 GPA, top 5% rank, 1060 SAT, psychology or neuroscience]

If you’ve got all the requirements, then I think you are easily in but should go test optional. Per iU, 46 percent of students admitted for fall 2024 applied as test-optional.

By all the requirements, I mean:

  • 8 credits (semesters) of English, such as literature, grammar, or composition

  • 7 credits (semesters) of mathematics, including 4 credits of algebra and 2 credits of geometry (or an equivalent 6 credits of integrated algebra and geometry), and 1 credit of precalculus, trigonometry, statistics, finite, or calculus or an alternative course demonstrating advanced math preparation.
    *NOTE: Discrete mathematics and quantitative reasoning are not approved alternative courses and will not meet the math requirements outlined above.

  • 6 credits (semesters) of social sciences, including 2 credits of U.S. history; 2 credits of world history/civilization/geography; and 2 additional credits in government, economics, sociology, history, or similar topics

  • 6 credits (semesters) of sciences, including at least 4 credits of laboratory sciences: biology, chemistry, or physics

  • 4 credits (semesters) of world languages

  • 3 or more credits (semesters) of additional college-preparatory courses; additional mathematics credits are recommended for students intending to pursue a science degree and additional world language credits are recommended for all students

Best of luck to you.
