<p>Just a simple question,
I applied to Kelley school of business in Bloomington, IN which is part of Indiana University.
If i dont get into Kelley, do i still get into IU? Are they seperate schools?</p>
<p>Yup, you can get into IU without getting into Kelley. You’ll be put into the University Division and can apply for admission to Kelley later on during your time at IU.</p>
<p>Okay thank you very much. I was just worried that if i didnt make it to Kelley, i wont even be able to attend IU for business.
So is Kelley more of school for advance/smarter students and IU is just for regular students?</p>
<p>Kelley is definitely harder to get into requiring students to have a 3.7 GPA and a 29 ACT for direct admission versus a much lower standard for general entry.</p>
<p>So if i had 3.68 gpa and 26 act score, i wont make it to Kelley?
I will just end up in IU?</p>
<p>If you can bump up your GPA and maybe retake the ACT, you could get in by sending them updated info, and if you only have one of the two requirements, you could petition to get in.</p>
<p>If you aren’t directly admitted, you can apply during spring of your freshman year. As long as your GPA is a 3.2-3.2+ and you did well in business classes/pre reqs you will get in.</p>
<p>Just a “wording” clarification for OP… “Kelly School of Business” is still IU. It’s a school within the university. Just wanted you to realize that since you said “is IU just for regular students”, and “I will just end up in IU”? Their music school is also IU of course, but it’s called the Jacob’s School of Music. Just FYI.</p>
<p>Also to clarify, there are a lot of “advance/smarter” students at IU who are NOT in the Kelley School of Business.</p>
<p>To further clarify, IU Bloomington is composed of 12 Schools and the College of Arts and Sciences. 3 of those schools are professional/post graduate only schools: Law, Optometry, and Library Science. I cannot imagine a single IU graduate that does not take a class in the College of Arts and Sciences including Kelley students. IU students that are not directly admitted to their school are considered to be in the University Division. This is the vast majority of undergraduate students. These students request to be admitted into their chosen school after meeting some prescribed prerequisites, typically during sophomore year or late freshman year. What those prerequisites are varies. </p>
<p>Please understand that if you are not admitted to the Kelley School of business directly or after completing the prerequisites, you cannot major in business at IU.</p>
<p>Yeah sorry about that, I knew Kelley was a part of IU. I meant to ask: Will I still attend IU for business major even if I dont get into Kelley? And as for me thinking that Kelley school is for more advanced/smarter students, i meant in business major wise. Thanks for all your help. One last question, Can I still receive some kind of scholarship after failing to make it to Kelley and getting admitted to IU? By looking at my status, do you think I will? (I applied about 2 weeks ago)</p>

<p>As was already pointed out, if you aren’t directly admitted to the Kelley School of Business, you can still apply to IU and be accepted as a business major.</p>
<p>What happens in this case is that you are told that you are admitted as a business major (as an accounting, finance, management major, etc.), but you are placed in the “university division”. What this means is that you have to complete some prerequisites with a certain grade point average and participate in some extracurricular activities and then apply later for admission to the Kelley school in order to be accepted. (P.S. This also applies to students applying for direct admission to the other schools, such as music, theatre, journalism, etc.). My own son went this route–he was admitted as a finance major and put in the university division, and then later applied and was accepted to the Kelley school. His high school GPA was about 3.5 and his SAT scores were 650CR/700M (total 1350). His freshman year GPA at Indiana University was 3.586 and his extracurriculars were being active in the economics club, flag football, and in tutoring other students in public speaking.</p>
<p>Be aware, however, that we estimate that only about half of the students who aren’t “direct admits” will be accepted to the business school at a later point. (Many just don’t do well enough during their freshman year to qualify for Kelley–which requires about a 3.2 to 3.3 college GPA before applying.)</p>
<p>If you don’t get accepted, this means you will have to choose a different major–such as public administration, chemistry, math, philosophy, foreign language etc. in order to get your degree at Indiana University. Many of these schools are also very highly rated, however–so the education you get is still excellent (for example, the public administration program is ranked as the second best in the US–tied with Harvard’s right behind Syracuse’s program). It is just that the music program and the business program are the most popular–and therefore the number of spots available are limited.</p>
<p>P.S. This having to apply to the business school if not a direct admit is very common at a lot of the top schools–including UC Berkeley, the University of Michigan, and the University of Virginia. Indiana University actually admits more students as “direct admits” to their business school than all three of these other schools combined</p>
<p>Check IUs website. They list the required stats for at least their automatic scholarships. Your ACT qualifies you for their “Recognition” scholarship, BUT you would have to get your GPA to 3.7. But it is not a lot of money, especially if you are paying out of state tuition. </p>
<ol>
<li> If you get your GPA to 3.7 after this semester…you can update them and they might offer that scholarship if there is money left at that time.<br></li>
<li> OR…is the 3.6 an UNWEIGHTED grade? If so, and if you have a higher weighted grade, IU does accept weighted grades toward the scholarship.</li>
</ol>
<p>even if you get good grades in college say over a 3.2 or 3.3 and good grades in other classes are you guaranteed a spot in the school of business. Also how hard is the first year of college and is it hard to get good grades.</p>
