The above talking about Atlas sounds like international student app. Not apples to apples or apps to apps

My daughter received an email about sending an note to review her application to Kelley because she isnāt a direct admit, her SAT is slightly under requirement but GPA overqualifies. Then she got another email from the school saying that was sent in error and they are still reviewingā¦strange.

My D25 got the same; the only difference is my D25 got more than 100 points over their required SAT scores for DA. They also sent her two consecutive emails, 3 hours apart. She sent several emails to them and they asked that she wait until decision release period for EA and reassured that it took time to process.

Mistake email filter from Kelley not targeted at your applicant or anyone - ignore. Means nothing.
Would be very unlikely theyāll have petition reviewed before mid-January at earliest. Their main focus is auto admit notice for direct admit days. Some petitions will get notified by Jan 15 but not many. Nearly all petitions will be closer to March as expectations.

Has any direct admits for Kelly been announced yet? I remember IU being more of a rolling decision process in prior years.
For some reason, I thought kids would hear by January 15th. I have read people talk about hearing by mid-December. Do they announce Direct Admits for Kelley first? I assume if an applicant applied Exploratory Business they are applying to Kelley?
This is how it readsā¦pulled from Deadlines: How to Apply: Office of Admissions: Indiana University Bloomington
When will I know if Iāve been accepted to IU Bloomington?
- If you submit a complete application by November 1, you may get a response on or before December 15. Decision will continue to be made, and all early action applicants will receive a decision on or before January 15.
Itās very noncommittal!

Thank you! Definitely noncommital. I had assumed mid-January so it if is earlier, it will be a nice (hopefully!) surprise!
No. You will hear from IU first. Then Kelley.
Thank you! My son has the qualifications for Direct Admit to Kelley, but I know it is super competitive.
Question about scholarships -
Iāve reviewed this page about OEM academic scholarships, which do not require anything beyond submitting the basic admissions application/materials by Nov 1. Decisions/offers start going out in mid-December.
But then there is the IU Scholarships Application (discussed here), which is an additional/supplemental application due Feb 1. This page describes it as giving access to āgeneral IU scholarships and departmental scholarships specific to the studentās academic programā ā¦
Iām having a hard time making sense of how these processes overlap/differ.
The FAQ kind of addresses this - it says:
While it is true that Early Action applicants will be considered for a selection of merit-based scholarship opportunities, all incoming student should also submit their IU Scholarships Application if they wish to be considered for additional IU scholarship funding.
Curious if anyone has any insight on whether more merit money is likely to come from one process compared to the other. (For example - are larger/renewable awards generally from OEM, with the supplemental app providing smaller, one-time awards or college-specific awards?)
Thanks in advance!
āOEMā are stat based awards to try to encourage you to enroll at IUB. A good award will be about 15% of the total cost of attendance. IUB, like most large publics, tries to give most admits some money and rarely gives a lot of money through OEM. This will come with admittance letter - probably not on the portal right away as it takes time to program upload the data.
The other app is what IUB used to call āSSAā and āGSAā which are either departmental scholarships like Kelley or Luddy - very very limited in number - or lots of legacy type of family scholarships which are many but very small in dollars. This will be in Mid-March or early April and will be a source of grave disappointment for most who think big aid is coming.
If you are OOS, substantial merit at IU probably isnāt happening no different than pretty much any other Big10 school. They donāt really care about stats beyond OEM scholarship. There are many more opportunities for in state students for aid and an entirely different discussion. Finally, FAFSA based aid is a different discussion also and a big part of big public college aid programs like IUB.
Go Hoosiers.

Super helpful & much appreciated!
Similar boat here! Saw the āpriorityā deadline but kid had SO much other stuff going on and (though she started the essay) she doesnāt want to rush itā¦so missed the 11/15 date. I sure hope itās not a big deal in terms of getting in to HHC. Have you heard anything more on that?
No, I havenāt heard anything else about the priority vs Jan 1 deadlines - but my daughter didnāt apply before Nov 15th so I guess we will see in a few months how it works out for her. Best of luck to your child!
Hi, I called the honors program and they said all applications - priority and those in by 1/1 are given the same consideration and all decisions released mid Feb.

Son is a Freshman in Luddy. He had some really great choices, but landed on IU OOS. And, very happy, āNortheastern would not have been this fun!ā
GPA 3.9/ 4.3w, 1460, he got 2 diff scholarships totaling $9k, was told it was the max he could get. Wasnāt interested in honors, might have ben more $ thereā¦

Confused about DA to Kelley Business school. My son does have the GPA 4.2 W and SAT superscored at 1440. Reading through their DA page does seem like he will get through after applying to kelley major EA.
But I would assume that many (hundreds ?) might be above the cut offs that apply. That is above the 2000 odd seats that they say they have for Kelley ā¦then how do they filter? What if there are 5000 above this limit what happens then? Anyone with thoughts on this?
