Admissions Overview
Indiana University-Northwest practices open admission with an 80% acceptance rate. Most applicants who meet basic requirements will gain entry to this regional IU campus. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 950-1170 on the SAT, though many students likely submit ACT scores given the Midwest location. The average ACT of 23 suggests the school welcomes students with solid but not strong test performance. IU-Northwest seeks motivated students who want practical career preparation in fields like nursing, education, and business. The school particularly values students committed to serving northwest Indiana's diverse communities, with nearly 98% of enrollment coming from in-state residents seeking affordable access to Indiana University's academic reputation.
