<p>I am not a direct admit into Kelley but have plans to apply after my freshman year. I have done a lot of research regarding when to take the required classes for admission into Kelley and can't seem to find a schedule that really helps me because of everyone suggesting to take summer classes at a CC. I got off the waitlist so I was really late on everything.
It is now July 16th and all I see is everyone recommending to take either W131 or M118 (or both) at your local CC or online... My question is, is it too late to take classes online or at a CC with only a little more than a month away from when I go to school? If so, how do I survive freshman year with B's or higher? Is it possible with W131 and Finite? If I do not have any credits coming into IU in the fall, what classes should I take to have the best/easiest chances or lightest courseload in order to get accepted into Kelley? Everyone seems to be strongly suggesting to take summer classes and unfortunately it looks like I might be too late...</p>
<p>Taking classes online is definitely not required or necessary to succeed in Kelley. It is definitely possible to get a B or higher in W131 and M118 at IU, but it could be challenging. I suggest that you take a look at these great threads that contain responses from people far more knowledgeable than myself.</p>

<p>I was in you situation a year ago, went in unadvised and naive and got a B- first semester in W131. I ended up getting accepted but it is not worth the stress. Are you an in-state student or not because that will have an impact on what classes to take. For example, if you live in Indiana and near an IU campus I would take BUS-A 100 next semester. I took it at IUPUI this summer and it was much easier than what people said it was at IU.</p>
<p>It is too late for summer classes.</p>
<p>Per the current standard admission rules for Kelley (these rules can change when the new Kelley bulletin is published, probably in September, when it is too late to make changes to Fall schedule; if the requirements change, you may have to adjust your Spring schedule and take a harder class(es)), you can apply to Kelley after taking these classes (I think these are the easiest) and completing at least 26 college credits:</p>
<p>M119 Calculus (3 cr.) – do not take M211 Calculus if you test into it and adviser says to take it
A100 Intro Accounting (1 cr.)
K201 (3 cr.)
C104 (3 cr.)
G202 (2 cr.)

<p>Have you registered yet? I doubt if you could get K201 or C104 in the fall (but you can watch the real time schedule to see if new sections open up), so I recommend the IUB classes, plus one from Ivy Tech Bloomington, in this order:</p>
<p>Fall 2014
M119 Calculus (3 cr.)
A100 Intro Accounting (1 cr.) take 2nd eight weeks
8 credits of easy electives and 1-1.5 credit Kelley classes required Icore prerequisites
Econ E201 online equivalent at Ivy Tech Bloomington (3 cr.) </p>
<p>Spring 2015
K201 (3 cr.)
C104 (3 cr.)
G202 (2 cr.)
4 credits of easy electives and 1-1.5 credit Kelley classes required Icore prerequisites.</p>
<p>Take 12 credits at IUB each semester to keep full-time status; the three credits from Ivy Tech Bloomington will give you a total of 27 when you apply.</p>
<p>E201 is a very demanding class at IUB; also it is a prerequisite for taking G202. G202 is a relatively easy class, much easier than many of the other options for standard admission classes. You must take both A100 and G202 for this option to work. Take Principles of Microeconomics 1st 8 Weeks - Section 21901 - ECON 202 - 81N at Ivy Tech Bloomington. It meets Aug 25, 2014 - Oct 18, 2014. Get your transcript to IUB from Ivy Tech in time to have it appear by the time you register for Spring classes, which, for you, will be in the second half of November probably, since you have zero college credits. You need only a solid C for microeconomics to transfer to IUB from Ivy Tech; no letter grade for the class will appear on your transcript to hurt your chances of being accepted to Kelley.

<p>Next summer, you can take W131 and finite equivalents at Ivy Tech and transfer them to IU. Maybe also take L201 also. That will leave you all of sophomore year to finish your Icore prerequisites in time to take Icore in Fall of junior year.</p>
<p>@bthomp1 Thank you that post was very helpful. So if I follow this path I will be prepared for sophomore year to finish all of my Icore prerequisites.
How exactly does Ivy Tech work in the summer? Would I take W131 and Finite in a classroom or would that be online as well? And what is the significance of taking those two classes after I’ve applied to Kelley (just more credits?)</p>
<p>Taking E201 is crucial as well since that is the class that would give me over 26 credits to apply. Which makes me a little nervous even though I know all of the credits are transferable. But it seems like many people rely on Ivy Tech wether it is online or in a class. What are your thoughts on Ivy Tech?</p>
<p>It seems that you recommend taking M-119 over M-118 in almost any instance. At the same time people recommend the opposite, what are your thoughts on these two classes? </p>
<p>Thank you </p>

<p>iuhoosier8, you need to take an E201 equivalent before your Spring semester, if you are going to take G202 in Spring. You could probably take E201 and a lot of other Kelley Icore prerequisites in New York; however, there is probably only time to take it at Ivy Tech (it is an online class; see the link above) now, and preferably in the only section in the Ivy Tech system that meets first eight weeks, in order to record your grade in time to be able to register for the Spring semester. Also, you need only a solid C or above for the credit to transfer to IUB; your letter grade will not appear on your IUB transcript or count toward your IUB gpa.</p>
<p>You can look at the most current Kelley bulletin for a list of Icore prerequisites and figure out how to work them all in. It is obviously easier to do them all more quickly if you take summer classes at your local cc, Ivy Tech online, local university, etc.

<p>Fall 2014
M119 Calculus (3 cr.)
A100 Intro Accounting (1 cr.) take 2nd eight weeks
8 credits of easy electives and 1-1.5 credit Kelley classes required Icore prerequisites
Econ E201 online equivalent at Ivy Tech Bloomington (3 cr.)</p>
<p>Spring 2015
K201 (3 cr.)
C104 (3 cr.)
G202 (2 cr.)
4 credits of easy electives and 1-1.5 credit Kelley classes required Icore prerequisites.</p>
<p>“Take 12 credits at IUB each semester to keep full-time status; the three credits from Ivy Tech Bloomington will give you a total of 27 when you apply.”</p>
<p>You suggest to take 12 credits each semester. Along with the Microeconomics at Ivy Tech (1st 8 weeks) to give me a total of 27 credits after freshman year making me eligible to apply to Kelley. But with all of those credits 1st semester, they add up to 16-16.5 credits. Did you mean 4 credits of easy electives and 1 credit of Kelley classes required Icore prerequisites? And 2nd semester adds up to 13 credits as well.</p>
<p>Thanks
P.S. You have been a life-saver so far. Someone should pay you.</p>
<p>The numbers for IUB add up to 12 credits per semester. </p>
<p>Fall: 3 + 1 + 8
Spring: 3 + 3 + 2 + 4</p>
<p>For Fall semester, Psy 101 with Thomassen would be a good choice, as she is one of the best graders for that class, and that class fulfills the “Natural Science” gen ed requirement of the Natural and mathematical science requirements. But sign up ASAP, as there are only six seats left.</p>
<p>Course: PSY 101
Section number: 10645
MoWeFr 10:10AM - 11:00AM
Room #: Psychology (PY) 100

<p>With the .5 classes from Kelley, you may not get exactly 12 credit hours per semester; but you need at least 12 credit hours per semester to maintain full-time student status, which is very important to do. Add 3 credits for Microecon at Ivy Tech in fall and you will have at least 27 credits when you apply to Kelley.</p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>
