Did I get into Kelley?

Wow, that is an amazing number.

According to Indiana University’s Common Data Set, only 1176 students graduated with undergraduate business degrees last year, (you can get this number by multiplying the total undergraduate degrees awarded on page 2 (6,181) times the % of undergraduate degrees in business from page 26 (19.03%)).

According to this Kelley site:
[School Profile: About Us: Kelley School of Business: Indiana University Bloomington](School Profile | About | Indiana Kelley)
there are 4,184 undergraduate students in the Kelley school. I’m presuming that this includes about 4 years of “direct admit” students and 3 years of “regular admission” students.

It used to be that only about 20% or even less of the business students were admitted through “direct admit” status in 2002–or about 230.

But if it’s going up to 700 to 800 like you said, this means the number of students getting admitted as direct admits has more than doubled (and possibly tripled) in the last five to six years.

Also, if they start admitting 700-800 “direct admit” students each year and don’t increase the number allowed into the Kelley school each year, they will soon have more “direct admits” than “non-direct admits” in the undergraduate business program.

Therefore, I think you must be correct–they are probably planning to increase the enrollment at Kelley over the next few years.
