She initiated conversation with me, I felt a real connection.. We met outside the class, so we decided to sit next to each other in class.

I just have a question, she asked me my age and I told her 19, then she said something like "Wow we're the same age! Well I'm a bit younger, but I'll be 19 in March." Should I take that as an IOI of her qualifying herself to me?

Also it turns out one of her friends was friends with my friend so she also said something along the lines of "Wow even our friends know each other!" Should I take any of these 2 as IOIs? Really cute girl!

I think that's two IOIs, a lot of people will try to find stuff they have in common with people they like (I know I tried hard to do so when I was AFC). Assume she is qualifying herself and IOI, even if it's wrong it will pump confidence and increase your overall game.

Dude that was 3 IOI's if you didn't notice.
first of all she qualified. second she tried to find thing common between you so you could relate to her.
The third one you didn't mention was her sitting next to you, what better way to show interest then phisically.

Anyway I hope you NC'd with her because she is definetally interested.

Wow you're right that was three because she did invite me to sit with her and her friends. I completely AFCed the number close though, but I'm going to nail that tomorrow now that you guys gave me the reassurance I needed.

What ive been learning is that what attracts women is if you dont even care if they give you IOI's or are interested you just act as if they are, why wouldnt they be?
Its confidence. Now if you mix it with AFC its deadly for you but if you have that i dont give a shit-im fucking hot attitude, they will just go along with it. Women are very impressionable, if you act it they will believe it.
Its hard too becuase it does take confidence but thats our goal
