How to interpret the acceptance rate
Admission to Indiana University-East was granted to 67.2% of applicants, placing its reported rate below that of comparable institutions. The figure describes an outcome for the reported applicant pool, rather than a forecast for an individual applicant.
Compared with the median of 85.9% for comparable institutions (same type and size), the university's admission rate is lower.
What SAT and ACT scores do Indiana University-East students report?
The submitted-score profile at Indiana University-East gives applicants a concrete reference point, rather than a threshold for admission. Applicants should place an SAT result alongside 960 to 1,170, which marks the middle fifty percent of enrolled SAT submitters.
Among ACT submitters who enrolled, the middle fifty percent scored from 19 to 24. These ranges describe only enrolled students who provided test scores, not every member of the entering class.
Neither range states a score needed for admission, and the figures do not indicate how an individual application will be evaluated. Instead, they show where recent score submitters fell within each test's reported range.
The ranges below describe enrolled students who submitted test scores at Indiana University-East. Use them as academic context, then check the university’s current testing policy for your application cycle.

About these student measures
The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.
Transfer pathways are a prominent part of the undergraduate mix: an estimated 48.0% of attendees enter as transfers or part-time students. Federal enrollment data list 2,589 undergraduates, and 35.4% receive Pell Grants.
The composition points to a campus serving both people continuing coursework begun elsewhere and undergraduates using federal grant aid, rather than one defined by a single route into college.
At Indiana University-East, both returning after the first year and finishing within six years occur less often than at comparable institutions. Among full-time bachelor’s-seeking first-year entrants, 61.8% return for a second year, compared with a peer median of 73.7% for comparable institutions of the same type and size.
The six-year graduation rate for the first-time full-time cohort is 39.6%, versus 49.1% at the peer median. Pell recipients in that cohort complete within six years at 42.2%, above the overall rate by 2.6 percentage points.
Enrolled students can expect persistence and completion figures that trail the comparable-institution medians, even as Pell recipients’ completion rate is higher than the schoolwide rate.
