Probably yes a safety for IU.
Kelley was over inundated last year that they ended up denying and waitlisting 1000’s of students who applied after November 1st.
Kids who normally would have made it in were denied. And the rest who were waitlisted (and applied in late October, November and December) had to wait until April 26th for a decision.
So for Kelley, time matters. Get the app in and petition ASAP (by mid October the latest). The sooner they get the petition, the more likely one would get in with these stats.
