Are you both saying direct admit to Kelly. Or pre Kelly.

Mine got in. He heard this morning. He has already decided on another school for financial reasons but he really liked Indiana. He has a 3.8 uw and 4.3 w. Test optional.

Pre-business seemingly allows full Kelley classes year one and as long as performance is good, officially Kelley entrance in year two. Not bad.


The requirements are actually pretty strict, definitely not a given.



DS got the same letter. It says check later to see if direct admit. But how much later?

For Jacob’s? That’s a super hard admit. Good luck 🍀


Thanks! Yep, audition is in a few weeks. It’s a big reach. Academically it was a safety for her but artistically it’s like lottery odds.

Same here - DC had stats well above the DA requirements but we were really stressed as it seemed many were getting waitlisted based on reddit. Very happy!

Direct admit Kelly in the exploratory program!! Holistic review including the LOR definitely helped!

Mine in at Kelley for marketing. Had a higher SAT than required but a 3.78, so benefitted from the holistic approach for direct admit.

Meanwhile we both got an email that there’s been an update in the portal.

I will find out whenever she decides to check, but it’s killing me. It’s a good fit for her though and I know she has other options regardless, but she needs this, if anything for the confidence boost.


She got in! Wohoooooooooooo! Thank you for this win, college acceptance gods, she needed it.
