[quote=Anonymous]It's amazing how many people on this thread are calling kids stupid for nothing being able to get a 3.3 GPA when it has been repeatedly said that they must receive a B+ grade in every class - Kelley or not. That means 10 classes, as a freshman including the "weed out" ones, you can never get less than a B+. You can have a 3.9 GPA and not make it for one B in a 1 credit class.

Furthermore, you can assume that they are not going to do non-automatic admissions if they already went to such lengths as to enroll students under terms they knew they would not honor, weeks later.  They did it because they are out of room, but they knew that before May 1 and they did it anyway to trap the pre-business students at IU, having declined all other enrollments.

Meanwhile, the direct admits only have to get a 2.0 cumulative and can include any grade at or above a D-.  If this school is so elite and these direct admits are so clearly brilliant, why the polar opposite standards for performance?

There is absolutely legal precedent which prevents universities from doing what IU has done, and I hope and expect that they will get sued. The standard admission agreement the kids enrolled with was "automated guaranteed admission with B or higher in every grade".   Check case law before saying there is no case. It's a very expensive university and they did a very classic bait and switch with the hope of retaining some students in alternate majors by enrolling them under false pretense.

Not a good look.
