Petition for Kelley School of Business

Colleges and Universities A-Z Indiana University - Bloomington

<p>Hey everyone. So, I have been accepted into IUB already and am really interested in Kelley. Unfortunately, i'm in a little bit of a tough situation. My freshman year of High School, I struggled a lot. My GPA was at a 3.2 both semesters. Jumped to a 4.0 Sophomore year and 3.8-3.9 Junior year. Now, if i get an A on all of my exams this semester, I will just get a 3.7. I took a difficult schedule this year to prepare me for college (ironically...it could keep me out of Kelley), so the possibility of me getting a 3.69 is very real (odd combination of grades on exams). I received a 28 on my ACT but am retaking that and am confident I can get a 29. Coming from Wisconsin, I really want to be sure of getting into Kelley due to the whole tuition issue. Is there any chance I could get in petitioning with a 29 and 3.69? Or a 30? Sorry for the long post, i'm so nervous about all of this! haha! </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Yeah, you would probably get in with a 30 and 3.69 but you can’t wait until the end of the year.</p>

<p>My semester ends in a week, so I would send in those. It’s too bad that I cannot petition into June, because I would definitely get in then.</p>

<p>Anyone else with some advice?</p>

5

<p>Did you only take the ACT once? Do you have a 29 if you superscore?</p>

<p>I am retaking the ACT in Feb. It also looks like I may pull the miracle and get that 3.667 up to a 3.7.<br>
I just now realized that Indiana superscores their ACT’s, which sucks to find out so late.</p>

<p>what are your act scores by section?</p>

8

<p>28 composite
31 english
24 Math (cannot believe I did this awful on math; this was unexpected).
29 reading
27 Science
30 Combined English/Writing with a 9 on the writing.
Studied for a couple of days prior to this and I did take it one week into summer.</p>

<p>Also, just got confirmation that GPA has been raised above a 3.7, so i’m operating on the 28 ACT and redoing it in February.</p>
