Chances of getting into the Kelley School of Business after bombing midterm?

I just got the results back from my BUS-A 100 midterm which I got an F on! This means that even if I get perfect attendance and a 100% on my final, I’ll end up with a C+. Given this my other classes are nothing special, since I’m only getting B’s in. Im currently a freshman in my first semester and I’m wondering if…

  1. I should drop the accounting class
  2. I could get into the Kelley School
  3. I should just transfer out

Go see your counselor and a Kelley advisor. I am guessing they will tell you to take the W and take accounting next semester. Do not take the C. They are very strict on who gets into Kelley and a C puts you at a review status. You must have a minimum of a B in every single class you take. Check the Kelley website for specifics on admission to Kelley - the school will help you and give you options for a tutor next semester.

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately it seems like I’m also going to receive a C in M119, which seems to vanquish any chances of me getting into the Kelley School.

If you can’t get into Kelley, check out SPEA and the LAMP program
