Does anyone know when the ACE invitations will go out this year? Has anyone got ACE invitations yet?
DS got an invitation to apply via email today!
Thanks @Quantjock Can you please share GPA and /or test scores?
dang, sadboiszn
Got invited. They sent me an email saying they would send the application soon.
Congrats to you both! Would you mind sharing your stats? I haven’t received an email about ACE, so I guess my stats didn’t make the cut. (In case you were wondering, 1510 SAT; 4.0 GPA; NHS, Pres of three clubs, VP of local charity, 200+ volunteer hours, awards in economics and business competitions).
ACE at Kelley is highly respectable and rewarding. There are so many benefits associated with being a part of ACE, so it is a huge accomplishment for you or for your child to be accepted!
34 ACT, 3.7 Unweighted, 4.3 Weighted. NHS, Key Club, DECA, etc.
My daughter got an invitation to apply. 1520 SAT, 4.4 WGPA, 34 ACT. Three season Varsity athlete and diverse EC’s including starting and running her own business.
@csekar15 and @periwinkle1923 After reading up on the ACE program it sounds like they target the top 4% of direct admits. We were surprised and honored to get an invite to apply. Stats: Top 1% ACT, 4.5+ WGPA with multiple leadership roles in HS EC’s and state-level EC achievement, varsity athletics and business related jobs/internships. Holistically, EC’s were probably a bigger differentiator than the stats…don’t sweat it, Kelley is a top business school and we’ve been impressed with every aspect of the admissions process so far.
Even my daughter got the invite 2 days ago. She is a direct admit with 1560 SAT and 4.3 W GPA + lots of EC and leadership roles.She is an OOS.
I have a question about the ACE invitations. Does anybody know what percentage of the applicants who submit the application get into this program?
@MAsecondtimer In short, no. I can tell you that this year I think there are 94 of us but the number fluctuates annually. Also, I have no idea how many are invited to apply. Anyways, I would definitely recommend applying if you get the chance, really neat program! Hope this helped a bit!
Did anyone else get waitlisted?
A student at our school got an ACE confirmation email today…
Oh I see. I believe they created a waitlist too.
Ya decions came out today, if you were accepted at least
Also came out for waitlist as well.
Wow- a waitlist. DS was admitted 2 years ago- did not know there was a waitlist. ACE is an excellent program. Lots of interesting opportunities- be sure to take advantage of them.
My daughter was notified yesterday with her acceptance into ACE program. Good luck to all.
@rendr1 My son is declining his Kelley ACE admittance tomorrow, hopefully his spot will open for you!
