<p>I’m guessing the number of direct admits has grown considerably the last few years. The honors accounting class is offered only in the Spring session and the classes get harder to get into each year. You have to be a direct admit to take it and only eight freshmen are in this year’s A205 classes. There really is no easy way that you could take A205 the second semester of your sophomore year because it is required for Icore, which pretty much should be taken first semester of junior year. </p>
<p>Kelley added a third section in 2007 (and added a minimum gpa requirement for 2008) of A205, probably to get more freshmen in, but the number is still low. I think that a lot of direct admits are coming in with large numbers of AP and other types of credit, and they are still taking A205 in their first year of college, but are sophomore standing because of college credit earned in high school. Unless Kelley adds more sections, if you are a direct admit with little or no credits coming in to IU, there is a good chance that you won’t be able to sign up for A205, regardless of whether you plan to major in accounting, because the Kelley direct admits and Hutton Honors students with the most college credit get first shot to sign up for A205, which had a waitlist of zero students in 2006 and 24 students this semester.</p>
<p>Class standing of A205 students:

FR08 SO108 JR31 SR4 3 sections (24 waitlist) (0 openings)</p>
<p>Spring 2007
FR33 SO81 JR35 SR0 3 sections (10 waitlist) (3 openings)</p>
<p>Spring 2006
FR23 SO41 JR05 SR01 2 sections (0 waitlist) (11 openings)</p>
