Kelley: Direct Admittance Petition

<p>I was accepted to IUB, but I knew I would not be directly admitted into the business school because my GPA is too low. I go to an extremely difficult boarding school, and a 3.7 is extremely difficult to attain. My 1600 SAT composite is 1300, above the required, but my GPA is around. a 3.2. Granted my Freshman and sophomore hovered around 3.0, and my Junior year I had a 3.67. Does anyone realistically see the admissions committee granting my petition? </p>

<p>There is nothing more I can do extracurricularly: president of the volunteering club, yearbook editor in chief, and over 500 hours of community service.</p>

<p>Anyone want to give their opinion? And if anyone has submitted a petition feel free to add your stats and results (or pending) </p>

<p>I'm trying to move quick because I realized that the petition deadline is tomorrow. </p>

<p>Thanks in advance. </p>

<p>I’d love to hear how this turns out. Good luck to you. </p>

<p>Thanks, I went ahead and submitted the petition. I’ll know in February. </p>

<p>How exactly did you get access to the petition? I’m also interested in petitioning for direct admittance to Kelley but the website shows that the deadline to submit was Dec. 4 even though I just got my acceptance to IU a few days ago.</p>

<p>The deadline has passed. Did you apply to IU prior to November 1st? </p>

<p>Yeah, the deadline passed. I don’t think you can petition any longer. If you applied Priority (Nov 1) I think you would’ve gotten a decision by then. What date did you submit your application?</p>

<p>I submitted my application well before Nov 1, but it took about 5 weeks for me to get my decision. Called the admissions office and they said I still could’ve done the petition even though I hadn’t received a decision yet, kinda frustrating that I didnt…</p>

<p>Sorry to hear that. Good luck in all your future endeavours.</p>

<p>Did anyone else submit a petition?</p>
