<p>I got accepted from IU but have not gotten the packet yet so I don't know if I got direct admit to Kelley. I have 30 act, 3.4 uw gpa 4.2 w gpa. A kid who is a direct admit and a freshman at IU came and talked to my class today and said if you don't get direct admit, don't even go because its too hard to get into sophomore year. My friend just got direct admit with 3.9 w gpa and 30 act and there school doesn't do uw gpa so do you think I could get direct admit?</p>
<p>the person that told you that it is impossible to get into kelley is incredibly misinformed. Only 2 percent of the people in kelley are direct admits I believe</p>
<p>NYFan, it's 5%, but you were close. ;-) </p>
<p>cjooch, you won't find out if you're a direct admit when you get your packet, you'll find out between 2 - 4 weeks later. They send it in a separate letter. Your ACT score is there, since it must be 29 or higher, but the direct admits must also have a gpa of 3.5 or higher, and I believe they look at your unweighted gpa when they say that.</p>
<p>I heard to gain admittance when transferring in all you need is a 3.0 gpa.</p>
<p>Slugger, I know you have to have a 3.0 to keep the scholarship money you get as a freshman. In order to get into Kelley later, there are two options. With both, you have to have completed a specific number of credit hours, and taken specific business courses, getting no less than a C in those courses. They also look at extracurricular's, volunteer work, work experience, letters of recommendation, etc. </p>
<p>In the first option they state you can apply if your gpa is below 3.0, but it lessens the odds of getting in. Option two is by invitation only and requires a gpa of 3.0. If you've been denied admission for option I, but you show promise, they may invite you to reapply under option II, but you can only do this if you're invited by Kelley. If you don't get in under option I and are not invited to reapply (option II), they state you should seek other degree plans.</p>
<p>IMPORTANT: Those are the requirements needed to get in, but meeting those requirements does not guarantee that you will get in. It's still competitive.</p>
<p>All of this is explained in greater detail here:</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure they look at your weighted GPA. They told me that they look at weighted when I called. So I'd sleep a little easier if I were you, you probably will be a direct admit (if you really have a 4.2 wgpa [you only need 3.5+ wgpa])</p>
<p>Wait who knows the actual percentage of direct admits in Kelley? What about the benefits of being a direct admit once you're at Indiana, if any? I was accepted to IU in late September and received an offer for direct admission to Kelley last week.</p>
<p>BTW they definately only look at wgpa because i got in with a 3.4 uw, 4.2 w. niiiicce</p>
<p>I estimate the actual direct admit percentage at about 15.6%</p>
<p>This is based upon the following website:</p>
<p>and some statistics based upon the Common Data Set. </p>
<p>I'm estimating that Indiana accepts the same percentage of students into business originally as the percentage they graduate from the school (18.4% or so).</p>
<p>Based upon this, 1660 are accepted into the business program originally--and 260 of these are direct admits. However, only another 890 of the 1400 other students will eventually get into Kelley, since only 1150 will eventual graduate each year as business majors. </p>
<p>It's important to recognize that 280 of the original number of students admitted to IUB as business students will never graduate--which may be for academic reasons, but it may also be for financial reasons, because they transferred, or simply because they decided they didn't want to go to college anymore.</p>
<p>Lastly, one must realize that of the other 230 students who don't get into Kelley, it could be because they couldn't get in--but it could also be just because they decided to major in something else.</p>
