Difficultly and reviews of these courses

<p>If your goal is only to get into Kelley, your schedule looks too difficult. It takes only four Icore prerequisite classes (you already have significant college credits) to get into Kelley with guaranteed admission with all solid B’s and higher, and you are taking six classes. Taking extra classes introduces more risk if you are trying to get in via the GUARANTEED route. Maybe your past performance at your previous school eliminates you from using the guaranteed route, I don’t know. </p>

<p>H211 with Diaz is a lot of work. Not sure why you are taking it, as you don’t need any S&H classes. I realize you need credits to be full time, but the Diaz class is a lot of work. You are probably taking it, along with the religion class, to double count A&H and World Cultures gen ed requirement, but I might be more concerned with getting into Kelley and take easier classes.</p>

<p>Don’t know why you would take C204 before C104. C104 is an easier class and will help you develop skills for C104. </p>

<p>Don’t know why you would be taking both finite and E370 on your application, as you don’t need more than one if you are use three from the K201 and E201 group. Just introduces the possibility for more sub-solid B courses. </p>

<p>E201 is very tough at IUB.</p>

<p>Since you are taking six Icore prerequisites over two semesters anyway, I would be tempted to just take 12 credits in the fall and make my application to Kelley then. That would only add one Icore prerequisite to the fall semester, since you are taking three each semester anyway. I would take M118, C104, E201, and K201. Those are all you would need to apply and get your admittance answer in early January.</p>

<p>I think doing the minimum to get into Kelley your first year, getting accepted and then loading up on the remaining Icore prerequisites in summers and sophomore year is the safest path to getting into Kelley. Don’t worry about impressing selection committee by taking tough courses; do the minimum with all solid B’s and higher and you cannot be refused. Here is an example of a student who went way beyond the minimum. He posted he came to IU with a 35 ACT but a 3.5 or so gpa, so he was not a direct admit (although he probably could have been, had he petitioned before getting to IUB). His schedule was absolutely brutal, and he may have got in because he grades were very good considering the difficult classes he took, but he took one course too many that obviously destroyed his standard admit chances.
