My Daughter has a GPA of 4.4 but her SAT was only 1310 . So she was admitted to IU as pre-business. So she applied EA before Nov 1st and was admitted. WE did not know she could petition until we called the school. So she did send in a petition but not until around Dec 3rd. Does anyone know if she was too late with her petition? Her GPA is over the required direct admit but she is 60 points low on SAT. Has anyone had a similar experience and still got into Kelley direct and if yes when did you hear? Thanks so much. Trying to decide if we should visit the school or if its a definite No. She also got into several other business schools one being UMASS Isenberg which is in state for us but she really wanted Kelley.
December 2nd was the priority date. They will consider petitions after that, depending on space available. But honestly, she should be good to go with those stats. I don’t think she will have any trouble. It may just take a few extra weeks to process, given the holiday.
@Momofmanytoo Thank you for your reply and I hope you are correct. Im pretty sure she did the petition Dec 3rd but Ill have to ask her. I guess I dont really understand the process then…maybe initially they look quick at SAT and GPA and you either hit both and your in or you dont and you’re out, I guess.
My son had similar timing (applied before Nov 1, got accepted, sent Kelley petition end of Nov/early Dec) and hasn’t heard yet. At this point I don’t think anything’s happening till after the New Year, but hopefully will hear something then!
Yay! My daughter heard today that she did get Direct Admit to Kelley. She submitted her petition on 12/8 and heard today 12/23! She is so excited!!! Good luck everyone!
I applied after December 2nd with 33 ACT and 3.15 UW GPA and 3.7 W GPA and got accepted to Kelley. I am a legacy but not sure if it makes a difference. Congrats to everyone!!!
I submitted my petition for IU Kelley on December 3rd… after the priority deadline. I heard back December 23rd and I got in Direct Admit!!! yayyyy
My stats:
28 ACT superscore
3.98 GPA
Hope this helps! Good luck guys and hopefully all goes well!
Hi～ I applied Kelley on January 14th in 2020, and I received the admission from IUB on January 25th and also the Global Engagement Scholarship. I am wondering whether I need to petition to get direct admission to Kelley. I looked up my application status the other day and it indicated that I was in pre-business University Division. Only two weeks past, should I petition for that? SAT 1430 Essay656 SATMath2 800, Chem 720
Thank you!
It took about 3 weeks for my kid to get his DA letter even though he is above both cutoffs. When we toured, they told us you get admitted to IU, then they see your stuff. Thus, it would be 2-3 weeks lag even if you make the cutoff. We heard that at Kelley and at School of Computer Science.
You did not mention GPA, but if both it and your SAT are above their automatic cutoffs, then I might hold off a week or so more if I were you. I assume timing and process is the same for RA as it was for EA.
Thank you for your valuable information?! My GPA is 97. 3/100(4.0) unweighted.
Was your gpa weighted on unweighted?
