<p>I'm guessing your high school lists your UW GPA on your transcript--and not the W GPA. </p>
<p>IU uses whatever is listed--which you have to expect them to do, considering that they get over 21,000 applications each year. The problem for you--as you've pointed out here--is that because your UW GPA (as listed on your high school on the transcript) is below 3.60, you are not entitled to any "automatic" scholarships</p>
<p>Automatic</a> Academic Scholarships: Types of Scholarships: Office of Scholarships: IU Bloomington</p>
<p>Additionally, since your UW GPA is below the 3.5 cutoff for Kelley, you are also not a direct admit.</p>
<p>If your high school listed your W GPA on the transcript instead of the UW GPA, then you would be entitled to a $5,000 per year scholarship and be entitled direct admission to Kelley. </p>
<p>Obviously, you should appeal and explain this to the Kelley people (who I have to be honest, are not likely to care a whole lot about the problem, since it is because of the high school that you have this situation)--P.S. My son's high school did the same thing, and he had to go through the whole Kelley admission process once at IU-B (although he did qualify for a small scholarship since the GPA requirements were lower back then).</p>
<p>Besides doing your appeal and hoping that they will revise your status (and give you some money), I suggest you go talk to the high school--both the principal and the college counselor. See if there is anything that can be done to get a transcript sent that reflects the W GPA--or see if you can get a letter from one of them stating what your W GPA is--which you can then send to the Kelley people. Obviously you need to do this now, since if you read through the weblink above, you'll see that all appeals have to be submitted (and that means received) by the Admissions office (and probably also by the Kelley office) no later than February 2nd. (I'm guessing this date is because lots of parents--and thus their children, the students, are having financial difficulties this year--and, like you, need financial aid to help them out. </p>
<p>So get moving--and good luck. (oh, and I suggest sending separate packets/transcripts to both offices--IU Admisssions and Kelley admissions, since stuff gets lost when you try to get one office to send copies to the other one).</p>
