redzerb,

I doubt that 1/2 of the finalists had stats higher than yours. However, stats is just one of the criteria. There are a number of other factors for the committee to consider for finding a future business leader. Some examples are:

1) Forming a business club
2) Operating a small business
3) Being a state champion, runner-up or finalist (sports, music, debate, Mock trial, EURO challenge, etc.)
4) Serving as class president or executive president in a large school

The qualification of the 2008 Kelley Scholars can be found through the following link:

Now, the 2011 applicants might be much stronger. Students and parents are more serious about the scholarship IU offers after the mini-depression. I am not sure if you are still considering IU. You may have a chance at the Cox Research Scholarship or a substantial scholarship from Hutton. If you are going to Kelley, you will need to package yourself better to get into one of the workshops. Use search to find the discussions on “workshop”. A 4.0 GPA in Kelley is no guarantee for a spot in the Workshops as I have been telling my HS sophomore son. Good Luck to you.
