When did you get your portal acceptance?
If I get the SSA invitation via an email that lists Hutton and Hudson & Holland, does that mean I’m admitted to the honors college already? I’m assuming I have to fill out the SSA.
My son has been accepted to IU and the Chinese Flagship as well. He is applying to the Music school (separate app). He is very excited to be in the Flagship…I’ve heard it is a premiere program. He also applied to the ASU and OU Chinese Flagship programs.
You have to re-write your activities section, more recommendations (one teacher, one for community service reference), an essay about community involvement, and one research paper on a topic of your choice. It’s a lot of work in my opinion, and I would say only do it if Indiana if high on your list.
Email acceptance (portal) 12/3
Email accepting into honors 12/24
Admitted early December and just got email confirming auto admit to Kelley. Still waiting on any SSA invite email with Hutton into…

@lalagurl123 Thank you for the specific information! Very helpful!!
SSA invites have been strangely inconsistent this year. I know people with 4.0+ and 1400+ who weren’t invited, and when they called IU they said that they would not be reconsidered for the SSA unless they sent in new test scores.
My son has over a 4.0 and a 32 act and didn’t get anything from SSA, he is a Kelley direct admit.
Yeah, I think in any other year your son would have gotten the SSA. I’m almost certain that they’ve changed something in their selection methodology. For example, I have a friend with a ~1100 SAT and a 3.5 weighted that got the SSA. Frankly I don’t think those stats should warrant an invite. He applied super early though, so I’m guessing that means that spots are predicated on when you apply.
If it helps, I applied 9/23 and got accepted with SSA on 10/17. 1530 SAT and 4.0 UW.
4.1 and 35 ACT (single sitting) and no SSA offered here…just Kelley direct admit.
Stats seem great. When did you apply? To be considered for SSA you had to have application completed by Nov 1.
In October. I thought the stats meant automatic Hutton so a bit confused.
It’s crazy Kelley hasn’t replied to yall yet and I am here getting an email from them every two weeks saying I’m accepted …like I’ve received three emails saying I got in but my portal still hasn’t changed. btw i petitioned.
Im still waiting to be accepted into the actual school. 
We got Kelley acceptance and then got two letters in the mail from them, but nothing regarding honors college or SSA
when did you apply?
October 13… Ive been emailing back and fourth and they say they will update my portal soon but still havent
im still waiting on my letter, i just got emails
