<p>applepear, I checked my son’s transcript and passing (C or higher) grades get assigned a “T” (for “transfer”, I assume) and the number of credits earned. No “P” or “F” and no letter grade. Also, I don’t know how IU could know your son got an 81 in microecon if only a letter score appears on his cc transcript and the IUB admissions office converts his B or B- into a “T” for his transcript. Also, the professor at his cc would not even have a reason to report an “81” to the registrar. The professor would just report the letter grade to the cc’s registrar. </p>
<p>Also, the rules for direct admission mention scores below B- and pass/fail as negatively affecting admissions decisions. However, that rule should not apply to your son, as your son’s IUB transcript will show a “T” for microecon, not a B- or “P” for pass. </p>
<p>Also, the Kelley admissions website states that “This is a new chapter of your life, and we’re only looking at what you’ve done since you’ve been at IU.” However, the most current Kelley bulletin states:
“The grades for college level coursework completed in high school or prior to matriculation at IU Bloomington will be factored into a student’s application review. However, the most important grades will be those received at IU Bloomington.”</p>
<p>I don’t know how Kelley can reconcile their admissions web page statement with what the Kelley 2013 bulletin says. Another inconsistency that adds confusion to the direct admit admissions rules. </p>
<p>In any case, maybe the statement from the bulletin saying that “However, the most important grades will be those received at IU Bloomington” would mean that your son not retake micro at IUB, as the T grade he gets from cc will be less important. I personally think the T grade should be irrelevant. Nowhere does it say that micro is required for standard admit application. </p>
<p>Does IUB really expect students to take all their courses in Bloomington? That can get pretty expensive for an accounting major trying to graduate with 150 credits. </p>
