His Kelley status will not appear online. That page just indicates his desired major/school; the only way you are notified is by a letter. Since he does not meet the test score minimum, he will not initially get in, but he can petition to be a direct admit once he receives that letter. If his GPA is at least a bit above 3.7 and/or he has some extracurriculars, I would think he’d get in.

This past year, Kelley fell short on the number of direct admits that enrolled (much less than they wanted)and now are going to accept more freshman who apply at the end of the year, so I’d think that they would admit more incoming freshman as direct admits to avoid a shortage in enrolled direct admits again. Your son probably has a good chance of getting in. Good luck.

Here you can find the info on petitioning:
