I think 34ACT might be the automatic floor for Hutton but your stats are so close…they may still be considered before Feb1st (or can petition by mid-Feb)

Ah sorry just saw post above. So she may be invited by Feb 1 based on holistic review, if not we can petition. Is this related to the SSA in any way or is this another essay? She’s submitting that next week.
Hutton is generally going to be around top 5-7% of class rank, right around a 1400 SAT/32 ACT and a 4.2+ WGPA as somewhat minimum on the review, they don’t really look at ECs too much. But it will vary some from those parameters. I don’t really know how they will look at TO in such a stats based concept. It’s a separate petition from SSA.
Lots of scholarship questions on here:
GSA is the general form and it then makes you eligible for a bunch of scholarships. Once you fill it out you are eligible for various scholarships and IU tries to match you with recommendations based on the profile you filled out - some will require more effort and others are automatic considered.
Then SSA is an invitation thing which you should probably by now see on the scholarship portal if you’ve been invited so far. It is mostly to the specific area of study and scholarships available through those programs.
Hutton as for scholarships is fairly limited in amount and number of awards. You can apply as a sophomore so you have to decide do you actually want its benefits and expectations coming in.
It’s a big public school so my educated advice is limit your expectations to scholarship $. They try to award a little to a lot.

I would not worry about Hutton Honors for Kelley - not necessary for success at Kelley or career opportunities. Beneficial for a few of the classes but not a big deal.

Called Kelley admissions. They repeated the April 14 date. Hopefully it will come sooner, but we are in it for the long haul.

What other date would they provide? Most decisions from Kelley will come in March.
The next most consequential date for IU admissions honestly is the Wisky and Michigan early action decisions at the end of January. That’s when you’ll see IU, and Kelley, know who is actually interested. Until then for many IU is a really strong backup.

I join the chorus of peeps grateful for your knowledge. 
This has probably been asked and answered, but if you got an invite to apply for the SSA, do you need to fill out the GSA?

I guess I should have said they offered no alternative for someone just stymied by a high school decision to get an unweighted GPA that isn’t printed to be considered. Not surprising. I am just hopeful it will work out in the end.
I am curious about importance the Wisconsin/Michigan decision date. How would they know who that knocks out of consideration? I doubt anyone withdraws an application, right? Does it just it simply mean fewer extraneous registrations for the Direct Admit days because those who we admitted to Ross don’t bother to attend?
This is kid three for me, but one and two applied to completely different schools, so the big midwestern state school process is totally new to me.

As well as UIUC Geis for Illnois students. However, Geis is really hard to get into via DA, but it’s a fabulous B-school and a huge money saver if you can.
Have to fill out GSA yes to apply for SSA. GSA is the overall app; you want to fill this out. It will match you with scholarships you might not know even existed.

Illinois definitely, I thought that had already occurred, if not it’s soon. IU competes slightly closer to Illinois in yield however than Michigan and Wisconsin.
Sometimes kids withdraw their app or just don’t apply or sign up for anything anymore. However, it’s more for the many not admitted that it is relevant. Michigan will usually defer quite a big number of high stat out of state kids for example. Michigan is receiving 75% or so more apps than IU is. And talking B-school Ross is way smaller.
As those EA decisions occur - kids start to look at IU and in particular Kelley with a lot more interest either when admitted to all as to cost as IU is usually cheaper and for those not admitted as a true top choice. IU wants to capitalize on its hooks then.
It would be fascinating to know how many waiting for Kelley review would have done an Early Decision binding decision if they could.

This is helpful…so in freshman year, he has to take a couple prerequisites classes and get a B or higher?
34 ACT. 3.86 UW GPA & no SSA invite.
Is that normal? GSA is submitted
Nothing is normal or not normal, there are always factors even at 4.0UW and 1600. But I would start with are you sure there is no SSA invite because it doesn’t come in an email or notice. And if you are sure - then be patient it’s Dec 19.

No email at all
No, you have to go to the oneIU portal and then into the IU scholarships section. That will list what you can apply for. SSA should show there as an option if available.

Is it under applications? my applications only show the GSA
Does is it automatically come up once submitted GSA too?
The GSA triggered it for us. On oneIU use the bar to search scholarships, that link takes you to app lists the available options at top of page.
