[quote=Anonymous]Forgive me for not reading through all the responses, but just adding that my daughter was in this position last year with a hurting heart about the whole admissions process and unexcited about options. The first thing I'd say is that the college admissions process continues to not just feel random but also to be BONKERS. And please do ignore people harping on GPA and parents puffing themselves up for their children's grades.

After visiting IU Bloomington, my daughter fell in love with the campus, and she's had an incredible year. Quintessential college town, people from more parts of the country than I'd expected, great school spirit that extends far beyond the college years. (There are active IU alumni groups in the DMV.) Lots of kids go abroad, and there are targeted programs for that according to school.

It's also worth looking into *minoring* in the business school. Getting into Kelley if you're not a DA is really really hard, and they've done some not so great last-minute changing of expectations and requirements after overadmitting last year (which I wouldn't surprise if that continues to happen). Lots of kids actually end up happier in O'Neill or the Media School; they can still take classes in Kelley. [/quote]
