I have been reading about IU and Kelley a lot lately and I was wondering how my chances are for being admitted. I understand that these threads are very accurate but if you could weigh me against what your average IU applicant is I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance. Also, I plan on double majoring in Finance and Mathematics.

Basic Info:
White Male from small town outside of Pittsburgh
Public School. Current Junior. (Don’t know if it helps but my school rarely has people apply to top schools, everyone usually goes to University of Pitt).

Rankings:
QPA: Weighted-4.1, UW~3.7-3.8
I’m currently 3/190 but will probably graduate 2nd.

Classes:
Senior year I will be in:
AP Calc II … My school actually had to create this class for me.
AP English
Physics II
French III
AP Chem
Psych/Econ
Hardest schedule offered

SATs:
My big downfall.
Math-690, CR-610, Writing-610
I plan on studying like crazy for these and the Math IIC and Literature tests. What score I expect on getting are: Math~750, CR~650, Writing~650.

Others:
I’m taking Calc I for college credits from University of Pitt and will do the same next year with Calc II.

I’m involved in French Club, TFIM (student career exploration program), Guitar Club (Vice-Pres), school academic competition team, golf team, Boy Scouts, History Club, Junior Engineering Technical Society and I created a stock-market competition to be held at our school for about 15 high schools in the area. Senior year I will be in the NHS. I have also accumulated around 85 service hours (will have more by graduation).

I’m very confident in my essays and teacher recs.

My top choices are Villanova, UVA, & Boston College but I realized that UVA will be a major, major reach, so I started looking at IU which quickly became one of my top choices.
