<p>Has anyone received notification of their assignment to the Kelley LLC? On the Kelley website they mention notification in early to mid May. </p>
<p>The email my daughter got said that that notification would be sent
out the week of May 26th.</p>
<p>Thanks for the response scrabblemomb. I didn’t receive that email, but I submitted my housing application fairly late in the process. </p>
<p>I also didn’t get any e-mail from KLLC, except for one stating that IU has received my housing contract. If I remembered correctly, it doesn’t really matter how late you submit your application since they review them base on the essays an not the time, unlike the other housing options. Hopefully we will all hear soon and get in.</p>
<p>I noticed the Kelley LLC webpage was changed from early May to notification by June 1st. Has anyone received an acceptance yet?</p>
<p>no notification yet!</p>
<p>My child said they saw on a facebook group of Kelley 2018 students that at least 1 person said they got a mailed letter today (Friday). But the person that got the letter lives in Indiana… so give the mail a couple days to get farther</p>
<p>Son got email yesterday saying he did not get kllc. As usual with iu, no transparency as to why or how decisions are made. Frustrating</p>
<p>Direct admit plus housing app in on third day available… random roommate.</p>
<p>Hi Thaumaturge. I am sorry to hear that your son didn’t get kllc. But I am just wondering where did he receive the notice? From his regular email or from his iu email? And did he receive any notifications from kllc before hand? Such as right after your son submitted his housing contrast to the time he received the decision? Thanks.</p>
<p>On saturday, my child got a us mail letter saying they got in. So it seems they are mailing to accepted students and emailing those they didn’t accept? my child is direct admit and didn’t learn of KLLC till the direct admit day. Applied soon after.</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses, I haven’t received anything in the mail or email (checked both iu mail and admissions email address)
I live in Pennsylvania so if the letters were mailed out Friday, I’m hoping there’s a chance I will receive something in next couple days. </p>
<p>received the KLLC acceptance letter on Friday and did not receive anything via email. Live in Ohio.</p>
<p>chwu60 - Son received the email to both his IU and secondary emails. I seem to recall he received something previously about the app being accepted.</p>
<p>Interestingly, my son’s second choice was Residence Scholar (save some coin). While logged in and browsing the RPS site, there is now a todo list item for him to sign off on a lead paint agreement. Once in the agreement, all the rooms noted are in Ashton… the Residence Scholar dorm. I’m guessing that’s what he’ll be assigned. Maybe that was given priority over KLLC?</p>
<p>He put himself on the KLLC waitlist anyway, so who knows. </p>
<p>I just wish the assignment process was all first-come or random so they’d take all the potential subjective nonsense. I’d like to know just who’s reading the silly short essays and deciding a Direct Admit kid is out, while some General Studies kid is in. Since all but one kid I met at the KLLC tour was from Indiana, I also suspect there is some balancing going on between in and out of state. I must say I am disappointed to hear people applying for housing many weeks later than us are in… good for them I guess.</p>
<p>If anybody has real facts to share, I’d love to know.</p>
<p>This seems to be a popular thread with over 400 views, so I will share what I know. Congratulations to those who got in! With that said, if you did not get in, do not be discouraged!</p>
<p>To give you some background, I just finished my freshman year but had applied to the KLLC, and was denied. Demographics: white, male, Midwest (not Indiana), DA, Hutton, ACT 34</p>
<p>When I found out that I was not accepted to the KLLC I was disappointed. I had been featured in a business publication (think IBD/SmartMoney) for a stock market related achievement, was VP of a state for a business organization (think FBLA/DECA). In my mind I was thinking, wow there is some really stiff competition wanting these KLLC spots and I really need to work hard if I want to compete with them at IU. I was not angry by the decision, but motivated to work hard while living in Wright Quad my freshman year. </p>
<p>Now a high school classmate (much less inclined in business than I) of mine did apply and was accepted and their roommate was from China and spoke very little English. I did also meet someone else in the KLLC who was from Missouri. Now that the year is over, my HS classmate has transferred universities to pursue a science related degree.</p>
<p>I talked a lot with my Missouri friends who was in some sort of leadership position within the KLLC and they told me about the quotas that the KLLC has. They want to have a diverse student population within the KLLC with close to an equal number of men and women. Obviously, this makes it easier for women to get in (fewer women in business, fewer applicants). They also seek what I will call “half” diversity geographically. What I mean by that is half Indiana and half elsewhere, including international. This is very disadvantageous if many people from your region apply and you are out of state (think major city suburbs especially) I did not ask about the short answer questions and how they are evaluated.</p>
<p>I did not live in the KLLC and felt that I had a great experience at IU and Kelley. The people that I know who were in it did enjoy it for the most part (granted I only knew two). Point is you will not be handicapped by not being admitted to the KLLC because there are plenty of other ways to get involved. Best of luck to you all during your freshman year!</p>
<p>My daughter got her acceptance letter today in Connecticut.</p>
<p>In addition to the geographic/sex diversity mentioned, they try to make it approximately 50% DA-50% Non-DA. </p>
<p>Just to get some of the misconceptions straight here, I lived in the KLLC and on my floor of about 50, only 3 were from Indiana. Also there was not one person that was not majoring in some business related study. I would say about half were direct admit and half were not but all of the regular admits were trying. To get into Kelley.</p>
<p>vikingplyr - Thanks for the insights. The quota nonsense you describe sounds about right. My son is from a large Chicago suburb and heard from more than one college that this put him in competition with a lot more people than someone from a rural area.</p>
<p>My issue with the IU housing process is that it is arbitrary at best. Other universities are very clear that all decisions are random in their world. At IU, they send what seem like countless emails and snailmails encouraging you to apply for housing early and describing various application processes. Then when you do apply early, you find out it meant nothing and the kid from an underrepresented town somewhere got in ahead of you regardless of your app, timing, or scores.</p>
<p>IMHO, housing in LLCs should be given out to Direct Admits first based on application date, merit, and THEN demographics. If the Direct Admit class is as diverse as IU would have you believe, then why worry about the KLLC?</p>
<p>First, it’s not about being from a rural area. It’s about being from somewhere outside of Chicagoland/Indiana that could potentially help with KLLC admissions. Students are from California, Dallas, Houston, New York are all likely over-represented in the KLLC relative to the rest of Kelley. </p>
<p>I don’t know what having standard admits adds to the KLLC, but I do think having geographic diversity adds a lot to it. Having 50% of the floor show up on the first day not knowing a single person on campus creates a very different environment than what you get in say, Teter, where 30% of the floor is from Carmel, 30% is from Zionsville, and the remaining 40% are from the northern suburbs of Chicago. Even though Teter certainly does a better job representing the demographics of IU as a whole. </p>
<p>@Thaumaturge Submitting early does offer some advantages as it increases the likelihood the student will get his/her room and neighborhood preference (NW, Central, etc.) Also, parking passes for “preferred” lots is based off of freshmen housing application dates (the earlier you apply the higher you are on the list to get a sticker for preferred lots). Of course, there is a financial incentive for IU to encourage early housing submission - it pockets the forfeited $100 housing deposit for those who ultimately choose to attend a different university once the late college acceptance decisions are made.
Full disclosure here, my DD did apply to and get accepted to the KLLC a few years back. While it offered many benefits (her favorite was heading downstairs to class) there were plenty of times when she felt “Kelley overload” and wished she lived in a different dorm so she could meet more people outside of Kelley. I’m sorry the KLLC didn’t work out for you son but hopefully he gets housing in his preferred neighborhood!</p>
