Work:

  • I worked around 40 hours a week this summer doing Social Intelligence, Research, and Data Analysis for a marketing and media company.
  • I am working at this same company currently at around 15 hours a week and it also counts as a work study class for me.

Just returned from an tour at Indiana and absolutely loved it. It has moved to the top of my list and I would really like to attend and be apart of Kelley. What are my chances of getting in through petitioning? Thank you

Update on ranking, I am only ranked around 120 out of 563 kids but this is because our ranking is based off of weight GPA’s and mine is held down by a poor freshman year although I have maintained straight A’s throughout the last two years (I did get on B+ second semester of junior year however) my freshman year really holds it down (Had straight B’s one A and two C’s both semesters of freshman year). Also while I have tried to raise my SAT it is looking as if it will stay at 1250

I’m guessing you won’t win a petition because your SAT is pretty significantly below the requirement. It’s worth a shot to petition though if you are really considering IU.
