Hello!
I just got accepted to IU Bloomington, but I have to petition to get direct admit to Kelley.
I have 1450 for the SAT and 3.78 weighted GPA. (Unweighted GPA is around 3.6 ~ 3.7, I took IB classes if that helps).
Can someone please chance me? Thank you!
Also, is it necessary to write a response to the second question on the petition form: “In the box below, please inform us of other circumstances we should be aware of as we consider your petition. (250 words)”?
If it is, what should I even write about?
You should have a very good chance since you’re so close to the GPA requirement but significantly above the SAT requirement. As for the 2nd question, I’d probably just write a couple paragraphs about extracurricular involvement or something along those lines. I’m assuming you don’t have any real extenuating circumstances of why you didn’t get a 3.8 (not that your GPA is bad at all) based on your question.
Answer all questions as thoroughly as you can! Good Luck to you! Also, if you decide to attend, my advice is to choose freshman housing strategically for next year due to current ongoing issues involving several freshman dorms, including the one that houses the Kelley Living Learning Center.
