While Indiana University’s freshman class fell short of last year’s overall enrollment figures, a record number of first-year students are enrolled full time this semester, according to statistics released this week.
The total count, which includes all “degree-seeking” freshmen, hit 7,604 for Bloomington’s campus for the fall semester. That’s nine short of last year’s record of 7,613. But there are 7,583 students enrolled full time, up from 7,579 in 2012. That class brings the campus’s total enrollment to a record level of 46,817 students this semester.
IU Bloomington Provost Lauren Robel called the freshman class “the most academically accomplished in our history;” first-year students had an average grade point average of 3.72 and an average SAT or ACT-equivalent score of 1217, and 30 percent of entering students had an SAT score of 1300 or higher.
