<p>Waverian,</p>
<p>The first numbers printed here I think refer to being admitted as a declared business major–which is not the same as being admitted to the Kelley school.</p>
<p>If you use your numbers of applicants (7,434) x .28 = 2081.52</p>
<p>Then presume 68% enroll: 2081.52 x .68 = 1415.43 (so say 1415).</p>
<p>However, if you go to IU’s common data set and look at the number of graduates with baccaulaureate degrees in business in one year (2007), you’ll see the number was 1,176. </p>

<p>They accept approximately 1,415 as declared business majors to get 1,176 graduates (because some students will change majors or not qualify for Kelley, and to allow for some additions/subtractions as a result of transfer students).</p>
<p>Your second number: 1306 applied and 70% were admitted (1306 x .7 = 914) is exactly correct, however. These are the non-direct-admits. (My estimate was 890 in my previous posts in the other threads listed above).</p>
<p>Based upon this, we can conclude that approximately (1,176 - 914 = 252) were the number of direct admits that got into Kelley as freshmen. (this presumes all the direct admits graduated as business majors). </p>
<p>As indicated in the previous thread, this number is estimated to be going up to 700 by some people–but, of course, what really matters is how many direct admit students register and attend IU-Bloomington. This will determine whether the school has to add faculty, or start restricting the number of non-direct-admit business students admitted to the university.</p>
