@Mom2SandG - did Kelley come in email? when did you get Indiana acceptance?
My application was complete on 10/22 and I still haven’t gotten a decision yet. I think it is because I don’t have an SAT score. I live in the bay area where it was impossible for me to take the SAT since the pandemic started. I am also an accounting major as well with a 4.0 un weighted gpa.
My son got accepted to Kelley today via email.
Application submitted on 10/14.
Accepted email received 11/12.
OOS
SAT 1440
GPA Weighted 3.96
4 Year Varsity Sports, School Clubs, Internship.

Had his major as management-bsb. Assume that would mean Kelley.
those who were accepted, did your acceptance email read “Congratulations!..” or did it say something like “Your IU admission decision” and you had to click a button to take you to an acceptance window?
The subject of the email is “Your Indiana University decision.” In the body of the email, it states " **Congratulations! You have been admitted to Indiana University Bloomington!"

He got a “Your Indiana University decision” email with a Congratulations in the body. Then two days later he got an email from them saying “Congratulations from IU Admissions” with the header.

@Mom2SandG there is still a separate official acceptance to Kelley which comes separately from what I understand
My son applied in October and received his acceptance letter in mid-November. We are OOS. He received the Dean’s scholarship of $9,000 per year, but that doesn’t come close to the scholarship amounts he received from other schools, both private and state. This had been his 1st choice, but not any longer. It’s simply not affordable.

what were his stats, may i ask?
Weighted GPA is 4.5, unweighted 3.87
He’s like most of the other high achieving kiddos…Class Officer, NHS VP, all the available AP and Honors classes, etc.

@joshsmother For the scholarship, how were you notified of that? Thank you.
It was in the acceptance letter.

The physical letter or the online portal? $9K seems chintzy for your son’s stats, but maybe you can negotiate more merit by showing other schools’ offers? I’m all new to this, but I hear that is a thing. LOL!

you have a very good point; a fellow classmate has applied to several colleges that he has no intention of attending, yet he will use their financial aid offers to negotiate with the college he actually wants!

Oh Lord…I’m not good with negotiations. I really hope that’s not how this works!
He was invited to apply for SSA, but I don’t know what, if anything, he would qualify for and the application process is less than appealing. Especially considering you don’t even know what the heck you’re applying for. I’m not sure it would be worth it.
This may be IU’s way of weeding out students. Only those that REALLY want to go there will go through this added application. And it appears you have to go through the SSA process every single year. Ugh.
I will say that it is a deterrent which is unfortunate.
