Standard Admission Credits

Hi Guys! I unfortunately did not receive direct admission to The Kelley School of Business, and will be going in as a standard admit this fall. I just wanted to ask how one would be able to get credit at a community college for both finite mathematics and calculus? I am doing this mainly to save money so I am apply to Kelley later as a much more analytical thinker who has not spent a lot of money (OOS). I am taking calculus over the summer at my local community college, but I really would like to take finite mathematics at a community college as well. I struggle an extreme deal in mathematics, but still try to work hard and put my best foot forward!

During the Spring or Fall of my time in Bloomington, can I go to IVY Tech to get credits for finite mathematics? Finite Math at a community college in the fall or spring is my top priority, and I pray I am able to do it.

Also due to my senior year high school schedule I will be getting credits for ENG 131 as well as Econ 201 (Intro to Micro). I am not too sure about submitting my credits for Econ as I studied AP Microeconomics a while back and want to be better prepared by studying it at a top ten business school. I am completing a dual course for ENG 131, so that is why I am getting credits for ENG 131. Also, I do not want to give up getting credits in math courses as apparently I need 12-13.5 credits of Kelley Classes on IUB campus, so I am not sure about getting credits for Econ and English due to the fact I may jeopardize possible math credits being exempted. So my last question is, am I still eligible for standard admission if I get credit for Econ, English, possibly Finite Math, and Calculus outside of IU? Again, I am mainly doing this to save money as I am out-of-state and want my hard earned credits put to beneficial use. The amount of work I put in to get credits for Econ and Eng was an extreme amount, and I really, really do not want it to go to waste.

The credits I earned in Econ and English were extremely hard, and calculus at my local community college is pretty difficult as well but most certainly doable. I promise I am not aspiring to take a shortcut of any manner and just want to save money and utilize the credits I have already earned. I am an honest kid, and really hope to get a seat at Kelley after my freshman year!

I value all response and cannot wait to meet my fellow Hoosiers on campus this fall! I thank you all again for taking a chunk of your time to answer my question, and hope everyone has been able to have a successful college admissions process this year!

Yes you can be concurrently enrolled at IU and ivy tech for your math credits. You will still have to reach a minimum of 30 credit hours with 12-13 on campus before applying. There are other classes you can take to get this, some intro business presentations and computer class. But I think if you have your math and Econ, it just means you’ll have to take what’s left of the prerequisites. And you’ll have to get the 3.5 minimum in those 12-13 credits.
