Chance me for IU Kelley!

Colleges and Universities A-Z Indiana University - Bloomington

Stats:
3.4 GPA weighted
35 ACT
Assuming requirements are similar in the past, 3.8 GPA weighted and 30 ACT, I would have to petition for the school.
With my stats, do you think I have any chance?
Also, does Kelley include first semester senior grades because that would help my GPA.
Thanks

Why does your weighted GPA and your ACT not correlate? I think you’ll get in via petition.

@yourmomma I did bad early in high school, first semester of freshman year I got a 2.96, but as the semesters went on and my classes got harder my GPA started to go up. My second semester junior was my best with a 3.7 GPA UW. But do you know if I Kelley will look at my senior grades? Or in your petition can you encourage Kelley to look at them?

Sure you can ask them to look at senior grades, but I think your petition is due before that in Nov/Dec. (check for yourself when you apply). I don’t think you’ll need it though. They’ll see the progression from freshman to Jr. year. Kind of what the petition process is for. Don’t worry too much, I think you’ll be fine.

Solid act, you should be good!

Review the timelines for admissions and those petition windows, too…depending on current process, is it best for someone anticipating petition to have his application to the university IN and accepted, so he’s ready to go when the petition window opens, and be at the front of that line? Just so the would-be petitioner isn’t at the end of that process and still waiting for an answer in late Feb./early March. :slight_smile:

Sorry double post-system timed out and ended up doubling my comment.

@IL2023 Yeah. There’s really no downside of applying as early as possible. The IU application doesn’t take that much time either

@iubaccounting - early is good, especially as the November applications date nears…it’s like traffic - gotta get ahead of the jam, which can slow down those efficient admissions decisions a bit. I recall at a scholars reception in late Feb. an admitted student who was waiting on his petition decision and asked a Kelley admissions officer how soon the second round of decisions would be released-he hadn’t made the first deadline for that year, which promised a January petition decision. Poor kid was stressing.
