<p>hey guys.. </p>
<p>just wondered will they tell me if I got in or out through my application status on onestart?</p>
<p>When you get notified that you were accepted, they will tell you how to setup a Onestart account. Until then, I suggest you not attempt to login to the Onestart system, since most admission committees consider that "gaming" the system.</p>
<p>P.S. To see how this is viewed by some schools, consider what NYU did last year after some people tried to log into the computer system early to get their admission results: NYU threatened to track the people who did so, reject the applications of anyone who had been accepted, but logged in prior to being told to do so. They also threatened lawsuits or criminal actions against the others--calling it "hacking" and malicious intent, and unauthorized use of computer resources. You should have seen the string of 200 people apologizing in that thread here on collegeconfidential.com</p>
<p>If you want to see it, just go over to the NYU portion of collegeconfidential and look at the threads from about March 25th of last year--it's the largest and longest thread on the system for NYU.</p>
<p>The page on IU's website that explains</a> how to track application status specifically tells you to use OneStart. I believe that stressedalot was curious as to whether the decision would be displayed under the "Undergraduate Application Status Check" link.</p>
<p>Thanks, szzi for pointing that out. </p>
<p>Obviously the administrators at IU have a different approach than those at NYU. My mistake--and excuse the misinformation above.</p>
<p>They will send you an email.</p>

<p>As szzi has pointed out you can check your status through OneStart.</p>
<p>damn .. i didnt get into UIUC. Calcruzer, do you think i should still go ahead with IUB? </p>
<p>I want to study business .. ~</p>
<p>Kahlen,</p>
<p>Obviously the fact that my son is there as a Business major means I'm very biased, but yes, I think Indiana University and it's Kelley School is an excellent business program. We live in California, and my son and I came to the conclusion that Indiana Univ was a much better choice for him than going to college here since there are so few universities in California with good undergraduate business programs. (There are lots with great graduate business programs--including UCLA where I got my MBA--but only UC Berkeley, USC, Cal Poly SLO, and Santa Clara are good undergraduate programs) Indiana University was a better fit for him, since he is interested in both Finance and Business Law as a possible major--and Indiana ranks highly in both (7th in Finance and 4th in Business Law). </p>
<p>I think you'll do fine and get into Kelley with no problem if you were close to getting direct admit status. </p>
<p>Good luck with your college choice--and best of success to you wherever you decide to go.</p>
<p>Calcruzer,</p>
<p>Thank you for your advice. Well, that means you guys moved over to Indiana from California?</p>
<p>Did he apply to Berkeley or UCLA? </p>
<p>I'm just worried that IUB alone is not enough for you to get a job outside.. that's what troubling me. The overall prestige / ranking is not there. But I admire it's business program @ Kelley's, it's excellent. But to outsiders, they may well not know about Kelley ; they look at IUB as a whole. </p>
<p>Kelley is what attracts me, not IUB~</p>
<p>Employers are VERY aware of Kelley, and they are the people that matter</p>
<p>IUB is a big time favorite school when it comes to recruiters.</p>
<p>IUB .. its ranking lose out to others? </p>
<p>Nonetheless, Kelley is rank high. but not .. IUB~</p>
<p>Sorry, that's what I meant.</p>
<p>Check out the following:</p>
<p>This says that recruiters ranked Indiana #5 for places to recruit students from and that the school got an "A+" ranking on job placement.</p>
<p>Now I agree that some of the companies that recruit from Indiana U aren't such stellar names as at other schools, so that may affect your choice. (For example, Proctor and Gamble or Target recruits a lot here, whereas if you want to go to Lehman Bros you would be more highly recruited out of NYU). If you want to work on the east or west coast, not in Chicago, Detroit, or Indianapolis, then you may want to consider other schools. Having said that, I work near San Jose, CA at a very large company and the people here are from all over. (For example, my Senior Director got her MBA at Purdue, the IT VP went to Univ of Oklahoma). In the computer group at this company, they think the local college (UC Santa Cruz) is a joke for IT degrees, and have a lot more confidence in people from either Stanford, Berkeley, Purdue, Indiana, Notre Dame, or UCLA. I guess what I'm saying here is that if your school is known for a specialty and you are going to a large firm, they have enough people from all over to know which schools are good for which majors and which are known for being poor in a particular field.</p>
