<p>How are the dorms?</p>
<p>When will i get a response from admissions?</p>

<p>I’ll let the students respond to your first two questions. Here is information I posted previously:</p>
<p>The following scholarships are automatic academic scholarships - you will be automatically considered when you apply for admission and no separate application is required. These scholarships are renewable for four years of study by maintaining a 3.0 gpa and range in total value from $ 8,000 - $ 32,000.</p>
<p>IU Distinction Scholarship
Criteria is SAT 1300* or above or ACT 29 or above & minimum gpa of 3.75
$8,000 per year</p>
<p>IU Prestige Scholarship
Criteria is SAT 1250* or above or ACT 28 or above & minimum gpa of 3.70
$5,000 per year</p>
<p>IU Recognition Scholarship
Criteria is SAT 1150* or above or ACT 25 or above & minimum gap of 3.60
$2,000 per year</p>
<p>*SAT score is based on Critical Reading and Math sections only. ACT score considered is the composite score.</p>

<p>My son says the dorm food is okay–but a lot of people–himself included–prefer to get food (snacks and quick sandwiches) in the library basement on a regular basis also–or to get take out occasionally. He says that the menus vary day-by-day and for about the first two to three weeks, but that after that they start to repeat a bit–and that’s when you start deciding that you don’t always want hamburgers on Thursday or chicken on Tuesdays, etc.</p>
<p>Now that he is out of the dorms, he tends to eat out more often. But that’s more because when he doesn’t eat out, he has to do his own cooking–and while he’s not too bad at it, cooking for one is always a bit of a pain.</p>
<p>are there any scholarships for out of state Asians</p>
<p>Well, as indicated by AimHigh above, you qualify for $8,000 per year in merit money–which is pretty good when you consider that with your family’s $200K yearly income, your need-based requirements (per FAFSA) are zero unless you have two other brothers/sisters attending college at the same time as you.</p>
<p>P.S. This is only necessarily true if you applied prior to the November 1st cutoff for the scholarships, however. Otherwise they can give you the full amount or they can give you less (like only 1/2 as much).</p>
<p>it might seem greedy for me to seek so much money but i have a twin. all of his schools with the exception of tcnj is in the 45k+ range.</p>
<p>calcruzer, maybe you can answer this one. zoolander said his family makes 200K a year. wouldnt that actually hurt you chances of getting and money since his/her family clearly doesnt need it? I guess it would only be FAFSA money though, not IU. This would make sense though right?</p>
<p>Under the rules for the scholarships that AimHigh listed, financial need is not being considered. Therefore, since only merit is being considered, the amount zoolander’s family makes neither helps nor hurts zoolander’s chances.</p>
<p>This is not true for other forms of financial aid–including most of the money being offered under FAFSA.</p>
<p>P.S. Giving what is essentially grants to encourage top students to attend a particular college–or stay in a particular state is not that unusual. For example, in my own home state of California, my son would have received much more in state grants (approximately $9,700 per year) had he enrolled in a private university that was in-state. A smaller amount would have been given had he gone to a public university in-state. Similar programs exist in Florida, Georgia, and, to a lesser level, in New York. If you’ll notice, Indiana is trying to do the same thing with their new programs also. Other states do essentially the same thing (in a different way) by keeping the in-state tuition low and giving preference to in-state students for admission to the public universities. Examples of states doing this are California (which does both things), Texas, North Carolina, New Jersey and Michigan–and the Illinois legislation wants the Univ of Illinois to start doing this also.</p>
<p>i am just curious. how hard is it to get the kelley scholarship. like what are the typical stats?</p>
<p>Zoo, I toured Wright Quad with my son and was surprised at the changes in the cafeteria since my school days. When I went, it was similar to a high school cafeteria food line. Now, it seems like many of the dorms at large universities have mini chain restaurants in addition to the traditional menu. As I recall, there was a Pizza Hut, a Subway, an Asian carryout and a Mexican takeout in Wright. (I may have some of these confused with other campuses, the point being there were well known restaurant chains represented in the dorms.) Good luck!</p>
<p>do they have honors dorms</p>
<p>zoolander they have honors dorms and it depends where you want to live in honors dorms, lets just say northwest honors dorms aren’t always study…food is alright, Wright is the main thing in centeral, Read is pretty good, Foster is the same as Wright, Collins is like Read…</p>
<p>Wright food court is pretty good, but has some major downfalls. The menus at the different places are always the same. Therefore, although there may seem to be many options, the food gets very old very quickly. There is a Crimson Cafe (Donuts, Pastries, Coffee), a Sbarros (Italian, but not very good Italian), Charlie Biggs’ Chicken (excellent chicken wraps with Honey Mustard sauce), the Flamingo Grill (a grill featuring burgers and breakfast foods), Stacks (a pathetic version of Subway), Pacific Rim (wok Asian food, decent but not filling), the Iron Kettle (homestyle food), the Mexican Connection (mexican food), a salad bar, and a healthy choices place.</p>
<p>I talked to a friend of mine that attends IU. The food is good, with northwest dormitories having a nice food court with separate restaurant type places. The food can get repetitive after a while however. He said the dorms are not bad and if you want to live in them after your freshman year you can get a room in the dormitories that is similar to an apartment.</p>
