Indiana University Bloomington Early Action Class of 2030 Official Thread

IU has been getting an increase of applications each year. Last year they had about 75,000 applications. I imagine it takes a while longer to get through compared to previous years. In the 2021-2022/2022-2023 cycle they received about 50,000 applications.
I am curious if the admission rate will still be approximately 80% for the last cycle of applications.

I wish your kid good luck!

Thank you. And agree, big increases. Will be interesting to see if anything changes with the birth decrease in 2008.

She’ll probably get a decent amount of money. My D25 had similar stats last year and got $10k/year.

25

Was she Business-Kelley ADA at that time?

26

She was. Her UW GPA was 3.96 with a 1460 SAT; she had 12 AP/DE classes by the end of her senior year including Calc BC and AP German. She was also a runner like your daughter. She ended up at UVA, but really loved IU when we visited.

27

Thanks - Ha, I’ve tried to get her to keep UVA on her list - but she keeps dropping it off. I may need to take her up there to see the campus in October, may change her mind. (My brother went there for law school, and I found the campus very nice).

28

If she’s set on business, UVA is not the best place to go. Students apply after their first year, and last year only 43% of the applicants were accepted. My daughter would be happy studying Econ, so it wasn’t an issue for her. UVA is also a lot smaller than IU so I can see why she might not want to go there.
