Indiana University Bloomington Early Action for Fall 2025 Admission

For Kelley DA: Does anyone receive a Selective Scholarship Application from the IU Office of Scholarships to apply for The William R. Fry Scholars/The Conrad Prebys Scholars Program?

Any thoughts on timing for review request??? We know it could be April. Fingers crossed for some releases soon. Maybe next week?

It’s not a GPA it’s a B or better in ALL classes.

For standard admit it is a B or better in ALL classes taken. Not a specific GPA. It is doable.

I know, I just tried to answer a broader question without getting into specifics of standard admit criteria (which doesn’t even apply to the OP being an Auto DA.)
GPA and grades are correlated, so I just meant to drive a point that it needs work by a student.

OOS Kelly DA. My son has not received any Selective Scholarship Application from the IU Office of Scholarships to apply for The William R. Fry Scholars/The Conrad Prebys Scholars Program.

Also you are not allowed to drop any classes as a pre business student.

Did your kiddo apply EA? My son is waiting to hear as well!
He applied mid-Oct and sent in his Review Request early December because he applied TO to Kelley. (He is at a very rigorous IB school and we wanted him to focus on his studies, his part time job and his varsity sports, not SAT/ACT prep).

I am crossing my fingers for your kiddo and my own!

Thanks! It looks like these programs are not so popular?

You are not able to have a withdrawal or incomplete. I would double check but they may be able to drop at the beginning but the business courses are required.

I attended a Bring On IU Day, and I can’t complain. I applied to IU-Kelley as a safety. However, I enjoyed my experience at the admitted student day and learned a lot. I would recommend it for anyone.

Received an email to apply for “Kelley ACE Program”. Anyone else received it and anyone knows the benefits of this program?

Yep, son received one as well. Probably just like all honors programs with more resources spent on those in the honors program.

did little more research on it and appears to be a sure shot path to get into Kelley Honors program. Worth applying to.
" Successful completion of the ACE Program and a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.7 will result in an offer of admission to the Kelley Business Honors Program, which runs sophomore through senior year."

Thank you!!

I was already admitted to arts & sciences but I want to change to marketing in Kelley as a direct admit and I meet the criteria.
How do I go about this? I initiated a major change and I emailed the Kelley office, but they seem very busy. Anything else I should be doing?

Technically, you are late, but try emailing Kelley admissions.
When I run your situation on the Kelley Direct Admit quiz (you may check it out for yourself on Kelley admissions website,) I see this:-
