<p>Hey guys I am a direct admit and was filling out the rps form</p>
<p>I really want to live in the Kelley llc but I never knew that I have to write 5 essays for it </p>
<p>If someone how important are these essays considering I am applying so early nd when do we get the decision.</p>
<p>Yeah, and they are 5 challenging essays! We would like to know the same thing. DD had hoped to live in the KLCC but now she’s seriously questioning if she should even bother with the application. Not what she needed when she’s studying for midterms…</p>
<p>Not sure if this is 100% correct but I talked to housing office today and they said you can edit application until May 1st. Priority is determined by when you pay your money. You might want to write quick essays, pay the money and then go back and edit the essays when you have time. That is my plan.</p>
<p>So wait, it’s in our benefit to pay the housing application fee and click “Will Return” under our Learning Community essays in the RPS location and then return later to fully fill out the application?</p>
<p>Is priority considered when applying to the KelleyLLC? Is it by any means a first come first serve type of application or does most of the application depend on your actual essays? I’m just really nervous about the time I have to apply for the KelleyLLC. I by no means want to wait and miss the chance, but I also want to submit a strong application. Is there a window that must be met in order to ensure your application has a standing chance?</p>
<p>Daughter is a Freshman at IU currently. She is a DA to Kelley, but did not want to live in the LLC. However…it was our understanding last year that it was better to get your housing application in ASAP. You are assigned a housing number…and that number goes with you as an upperclassman. If you have a lower number, then as a Sophmore you have better odds at getting the housing that you request. Not sure how much any of this really matters…daughter got in her first choice of Teter on a Hutton Honors floor.</p>
<p>The KLLC process has two parts: acceptance and placement. After you write the essays, you’ll either get accepted or denied. If you put the tiniest bit of effort into them, you’ll be fine. There’s really no reason to stress about them. The second, and more challenging part, is getting placed in the KLLC. They’ll begin accept people immediately, but most of of the people who get accepted won’t end up getting placed in the KLLC. </p>
<p>Getting placed in the KLLC is solely based on the date you apply for housing. So that’s why it’s so important you apply early.</p>
<p>So do you think it’ll be ok as long as we send in our application within the next week or is that pushing it? I just have no perspective on a timeline here.</p>
<p>I’m petitioning Hutton Honors College in the coming weeks. Kelley LLC is my top priority on my application for housing and the Northwest Academic Floor (?) is my second. Not too sure on the academic floor concept, but I’m honestly not too picky with housing.</p>
<p>The IU Parents Facebook page got us really stressed out when a mom posted “BE WARNED SIGNE UP TODAY OR YOUR CHILD WILL REGRET IT!” Then someone else said you can submit the app without completing the Kelley LCC portion, and come back and edit it later, confirming what yankees said above. So this is what DD did. In the Kelley LCC essay prompts she wrote “will complete later” (you have to put something or it won’t let you submit the application), then we signed and paid. After that, we confirmed that you can still go back and edit the app. I really don’t know if this was the right thing to do, and I’m not sure when she will need to come back to complete the essay questions, but at least it takes away some of the stress of an already stressful day of studying for midterms.</p>
<p>stbemtpynest: That is exactly what I did. When I have time I will go back and edit my essays.</p>
<p>Omg stbemptynest, I seen the same thing on FB and freaked out. Made my son write all the essays for KLLC because I didn’t understand that he could go back and write the essays after we submitted. Wish I read this first!!!</p>
<p>Guys when do the decisions come out and as all of us are applying so early will the essays really matter even if I submit 2-3 days.</p>
<p>^^coste - what did u mean by u r petitioning for Hutton ? I’d it possible to petition cuz I have the stats but did not apply before 1st November </p>
<p>Also the people who got rejected from LLC from previous years fid u guys didn’t take the essays seriously</p>
<p>What time did everyone submit? My DS didn’t get on the site until 7:00 pm. He submitted at 8:30.</p>
<p>DD submitted the app around 9:30 PM CST on Thursday.</p>
<p>6:00pm EST</p>
<p>11:30 pm, don’t you all think that if we got the application done yesterday, we should be okay?</p>
<p>I hope so!!</p>
<p>If I haven’t submitted yet, am I doomed? I really didn’t expect two days to be the end all be all and I have my application filled out besides the LLC application. I read that once you submit your payment…you’re done; you can’t go back and edit the application. This is wrong? It was on an official RS page.</p>
<p>I can tell you with certainty that after you submit the housing application and pay the fee, you CAN go in and update the application. My daughter submitted the app Thursday night but only wrote “will complete later” in the KLCC essay sections. Then she went back to the application and she was able to make changes. What I CAN’T tell you is if anybody sees the updates, or if they only see what was originally submitted. Based on comments I read here and on another forum, I think the updates WILL be seen. But don’t hold me to that. We sure HOPE updates will be seen, otherwise someone will be chuckling over my daughter’s KLCC application and she will forfeit her first housing choice…</p>
<p>I’m writing the essays right now. I’m disappointed in myself because if what is said here is true, I wont be accepted based on my late application and I’ll have a low housing number that will follow me throughout my four years with the university.</p>
<p>Not a good day, but thanks for clarifying.</p>
<p>Your housing number does not follow you through 4 years. A large number of students move off campus following their freshman year, and unlike freshman year, you pick your individual room from what is available.</p>
