Honors are still being processed and should come by Feb 1. They will likely catch it during that review and invite her.
If she doesn’t get in you can petition before Feb 15. It’s a “why honors” essay of 500 words and a letter of rec. (my D is using her common app rec letter, just have to have the teacher email it and can’t go through common app).
is the o’neill school hard to get into would i get in with a 29 act and 3.3 gpa
A 3.5 and 27 or 1280 is direct admission.
After that, you petition.
Or transfer in, which requires a 2.3 (not high) after completing 12 hours and the GE requirement in English Composition and Mathematics Modeling.
Did you call about swapping your major on your app?
All this info is available on their website.
If no mention means I looked in admissions portal - that’s not where you will see Hutton or A&S either. It will come in a letter and an email.
You cannot simply look at scores and infer I should get $X or $Y - stop comparing or drive yourself nutty.
Trust the process it will work out. Deferral is not no, it’s let’s see what RD showed us before we fill up.
DS also was admitted pre-business 1/9. No word on any merit scholarship yet. 
I thought they sent them out by mail and not e-mail…
We haven’t received anything in the mail, but she did get emails with the A&S and Deans Scholarship, but nothing about Hutton so that is why I assumed she didn’t get in. I didn’t submit her official ACT score (35) report to any school that said they accepted self reported scores until the point of matriculation, but that is why I was second guessing on whether Hutton required the official score for direct admit.
Did she apply by Nov 1?
As a general rule assuming anything with State schools is a bad decision. In this case assuming did not get admitted into Hutton or that it is because of self-report. I would simply call or email Hutton and ask the question on self-report specifically. Any general question is going to get you the answer of we will let you know by 2/1.
They send it out both by mail and email. I know it’s exciting, but patience. Big state schools are not about merit and are not about huge fanfare. They are about wading through 60k applications.
She did - literally on Nov 1 but still on time!
Thank you - I guess we will email, I just wanted to make sure I didn’t mess it up beforehand!
This page is very good to share with you - linked below - if not direct admitted.
If your GPA (reported) was 4.0 and SAT 1500 or ACT equivalent, you’d receive direct admission. Whether or not you send in an official score won’t matter…unless of course, when you finally send it in, it doesn’t match the self reported.
The rest will find out by Feb 1 - “you will be considered for direct admission to the HHC on a case-by-case basis without having to submit a petition. Evaluators consider all factors of an application, with greatest emphasis placed on grades earned in academic courses ; performance in honors, dual-credit, International Baccalaureate, and Advanced Placement courses; extracurricular activities; other achievements. If your application is successful, you will be notified by email (to your IU email account) no later than February 1.”
So you still have potentially two weeks until you’ll know.
Then if you don’t get in by Feb 1, you petition.
If you are not admitted to the Hutton Honors College by February 1 and/or if you missed the November 1 deadline, you may petition for admission.

Insight needed for HHC
My son is a DA to Kelley. And I saw a $4K Hutton Honor scholarship on scholarship portal. Does that mean he was accepted to HHC? Does he have to choose between Hutton and Kelley?
I checked my portal two hours ago and it said admitted!!
Where do you see the scholarship? Hutton is honors, you don’t need to pick between Hutton or Kelley?
We got an email to apply for scholarship (general scholarship I think). The Hutton scholarship is on the same portal.
Long thread and read a bunch but just joined today so apologies in advance if any of these questions have been answered in parts of thread I haven’t gotten to yet.
Background:
Son was admitted to IU, application date was 10/5/23 and received portal notice on 1/14/23. He submitted Kelley Review Request with an ACT of 32 and 3.6 GPA.
Questions:
I would assume that Kelly is looking at rigor during the review process. The initial DA is just an algorithm. The point of the review is to catch the nuance missed by the algorithm.
Does your high school send kids to IU with any regularity? If so, then IU has data on your school and knows how well they perform on campus.
If you are bored and you like spreadsheets, check out this:

You can play around with the spreadsheet and it may or may not provide helpful context about your high school.
Several high-achievers from DD 24’s high school have attended in the past few years. If these recent HS grads have had strong freshman GPAs at IU, then IU is definitely aware & this helps my DD 24?
Cool spreadsheet. Thanks for attaching. The HS is in Atlanta and of the 200 grads each year about 5-6 apply to IU and 1 to 2 attend per year. Based on combo of rigor and geography all have been accepted over the last 5+ years plus 1 deferral this year with chance of getting in later. I will also say the number of applicants to IU seems to grow each year and while UNC and UVA will always trump IU in the southern US due to proximity and reputation, Kelley’s reputation is getting noticed beyond those originally from the Midwest.
I do know IU general admission is aware of the rigor as they’ve toured the school but since Kelley and IU general admission operate somewhat independent of each other it wasn’t clear if Kelley also considered the rigor. That said, your point is a good one about the ACT/GPA algorithm meaning they likely do a deeper dive during the review request, especially now that it looks like they are not rushing to process applicant decisions. Appreciate the reply.
