Since Kelley School of Business is a large major for application for entering freshman - FYI, they have eliminated the Automatic Direct Admissions Criteria (Set GPA and ACT or SAT score) in favor of a Direct Admissions pathway which they’ve stated will be a more holistic review:

Has anyone seen the supplementary form they have to submit after applying
Not yet. My D26 has her Common Ap completed except for polishing her essay. Once that’s done, IU will probably be one of the first 3-4 Aps she completes. I think you can’t see the business supplemental until you submit the IU general application.

Still working on common app essay, planning one more visit in October, but tours aren’t listed yet. 4.0 student, varsity sport, science Olympiad, volunteer at local camp, did the Journalism camp 2 summers ago and liked the campus

My DS applied yesterday, but is yet to see any supplemental for IU Kelley. Also, the link in their portal doesn’t lead to Kelley Prospect Inventory (KPI) and it is unclear as to how to do that.
Hi! When did your ds apply? We still haven’t received the portal email
He submitted last night around 9pm PST. He just got email notification that app has been submitted. There was not portal link sent in that email and he hasn’t received any other email from IU. I just looked at https://kelley.iu.edu/undergraduate/admissions/first-year-students/index.html and found that a KPI is needed, but the link in this page doesn’t really lead to a form or place to fill out the KPI.
So was the email he got from common app or from Indiana
He used IU’s proprietary application portal not Common App. So, the email was from IU

I’d call Kelley Admissions Office and inquire on Monday morning - You’re an early adopter on their new process. If you’ve got questions / issues now, they should want to solve it now… not when they are midway thru 25,000+ Candidates for the B-School in and everybody is having similar problems.
I called last week and was told they are batching portal emails and son should get one in the next few weeks - he applied via CA
This morning, he received an email from IU asking to create an account to track his application progress. The only things that they have pending in the portal are the essay and official transcript.
Son got onto portal and it looks like it’s 20 multi choice questions getting at leadership style..
