Daughter is a junior from OOS competitive HS in a top county with 4.2 W and 3.78 UW GPA with 6 AP classes and 8 honors classes from 8-11th grade. She has a 29 ACT. Stellar ECs. Chances for direct admit to the business school?
The requirements are stated on their website. She will need a 30 ACT.
They also look at weighted GPA, so in that respect she should be fine. I don’t believe extra curricular activities are taken into account for admission to Kelly.
Right. She will take ACT again in a couple weeks. According to the website they superstore, so she is optimistic that she’ll get at least 1 more point in one area. So, as long as she has a 30 superscore and her gpa, she automatically gets direct admit?
I’m quite sure that is the case. My daughter was admitted this year, but will attend a school elsewhere.
Even if she doesn’t end up getting a 30 ACT, her GPA is high enough that she should definitely get in via petition. However, I’d still take the ACT again as getting a 30 will make life a little easier.
Do you send in the petition WITH the application?
@gradmom1 no, you only send in the petition if you don’t qualify automatically. I had a high enough GPA and ACT to begin with so on my IU application I just indicated that I wanted to be in Kelley and I did not have to do anything beyond that to get in. I got an email a few weeks after being accepted that I was accepted to Kelley.
@Gradmom1 sorry just realized I didn’t really answer your question but no, petitions open after you are accepted to IU (must apply by Nov 1) and you hear back sometime in the winter.

A couple of things. First they may up the criteria for next year. So continue working on the test score and gpa. Second, if you meet the requirements and check the right boxes admission to Kelly is automatic.
