The decisions came out. Did anyone else get in? What were your stats?
My D got in. GPA 3.9. SAT 2280. OOS. What are your stats? Are you going to attend Kelley?
I have a 4.1 w GPA. ACT 35. I’m undecided on whether I am going to attend Kelley.
What are your other choices. She is waiting to hear from a few Ivies. Also waiting on USC. Although at this point we like Kelley better than USC.
I’m pretty much just waiting on Pomona and Wash U in St Louis
I got in today as well. 3.95 Unweighted GPA, 34 ACT. I am still waiting to hear back from a few other schools before i make my final decision.
DS got in today also. 2250 SAT; 4.7 wGPA. Still undecided- waiting to hear back from a few places and needs to get some type of additional scholarship money from the SSA to make it work.
If anyone has any questions about the program, I can answer. I was in it last semester
What are the advantages of the program? Does being in the program help in getting housed in the KLLC? Was Kelley your first choice? Are there meetings before school so you get to know others in the program. Are there a mix of in and out of state. Students or mostly instate students?
@collegemom27 The main advantage of the program is that you are automatically admitted into the Business Honors Program if you maintain a 3.5 GPA through your first year (not that hard to do if you are qualified) for ACE. The Business Honors Program is hard to get into if you aren’t in ACE, and it is a long application process with many different components, so it is a huge advantage. The Business Honors Program lets you take Honors with other honors students, so you will likely have a better group and better experience overall. Honors classes often have better professors and grade distribution without actually being that much harder, but you can still take honors classes if you are in Hutton even if not in Business Honors. There are also minor things like access to lunch and learns to learn more about Kelley and/or different companies that provide free food, and having the same group for both Honors Computer in Business and Business Presentations is nice because it is easier to coordinate meetings. Being in ACE requires you to take those 2 classes in the same semester with only ACE students, but the classes are essentially the same as the non ACE sections of them.
I think I read somewhere that it did help with getting into the KLLC, but I got into ACE and denied from the LLC so you are not guaranteed. Honestly, living in the KLLC isn’t as big of a deal as people make it out to be. I have lots of friends there and they say the main advantage is that it is very easy to meet other business students. Other than that, they are indifferent about the KLLC. I would still apply, but don’t be too disappointed if you don’t get in. Kelley was my first choice, and I chose to turn down a full tuition scholarship to Manchester University (small Indiana private school with a good accounting program) to pay $3000/year in tuition here, and I am happy with that decision. I wouldn’t pay tons and tons of money to be here if I had other good options though.
Last year there was one optional meeting during orientation, but I would have had to come down a day early and decided to skip it. There are a good mix of in state and out of state. In my group of 6, 4 were in state, and overall it’s probably close to half
Thanks for the info, one additional ? If not the KLLC, what neighborhood do you recommend living in for proximity to Kelley? Any thoughts about living in honors housing, since she also is Hutton honors. Want a lively dorm with fun people but not crazy wild since studying needs to occur.
@collegemom27 I know one person that lives in honors housing in Teter and they like it. I would probably either pick central or northwest for proximity to Kelley. Also, shutting your door blocks out a lot of noise, and you can always go to the library or computer lab if the dorm isn’t quiet and you need to study
I got in yesterday. GPA: 4.32W SAT 1540 (CR+M)
