For direct admit into Kelley, is it a 3.8 weighed gpa they want (along with the 32 ACT), or does the 3.8 have to be unweighed?
Weighted. They take whichever is highest on the transcript, so make sure the weighted GPA is actually on the transcript.
Wowwwwwww nice. I’m a current junior, and I want to apply next year. Are you a student at Kelley? If so, could you tell me your experience?
@ZBlue17 I’m not, but I’m highly considering it. What really attracts me to Kelley is the fact that I’d be going to a very prestigious program, but I’d still be getting the Big 10 experience. Kelley, from what I’ve heard, is a community of really smart, driven students.
The town is great too! Bloomington is such a friendly town and also the perfect college town.
What other programs are you considering? @jpamsel
I want to major in Econ, and Kelley is one of the few schools that has a business econ major. Applied to a lot of Big 10s then some private schools like UMiami, Santa Clara, and Tulane. My GPA isn’t the best compared to some of the people on here, but its enough to get me into these schools, and my ACT is a 33.
I am a current Kelley freshman and overall I am very happy here. If you got invited to Hutton, you shouldn’t have much trouble with the freshman courses. I am also in Hutton, and I will hopefully finish with an A- in one class and A’s in the rest. I am taking 2 honors classes, and those are manageable and not too difficult. I used ratemyprofessor to choose my professors, and they have been good overall. I would say my 3 Kelley professors are better than my 2 non-Kelley professors, but all are willing to help and very knowledgeable in their subject area.
The food quality depends on where you live. Many business students live in the Kelley LLC, which has a convenience store in the building, but it has limited meal options. It is a bit like a grocery store, but it does have good sandwiches and soup. It is also closest to the worst dining hall on campus, which isn’t very good. Overall, the food is quality is decent, and the prices are pretty high, but the standard meal plan should give you enough points. It’s also difficult to find healthy options except fruit and the salad bar.
I’m not the greatest person at making friends, so it was a huge benefit for me that I already knew a ton of people before coming here from high school. My floor is sort of quiet, but I don’t live in the LLC. I do spend a lot of time with friends in the LLC though, and it seems very social and easy to make friends there.
The campus also has a huge drinking culture. If you want to drink, it will almost always be available, but nobody will force you to drink if you don’t want to. I haven’t had any alcohol and neither have many of my friends, but I do personally know someone that went to the hospital for drinking too much, and another that may have literally died if he didn’t have friends there helping him. This isn’t a deal-breaker for me, but it is something to consider. I don’t really know if other big schools are like this, but I have a friend at a smaller Christian college in Indiana that told me he has never seen any alcohol on campus.
If you have any other questions, let me know!
