Furthermore, the Kelley school does not have an 83% admission rate. the Office of Undergraduate Admissions is responsible for that figure. The reason why IU accepts so many students is that its requirements are very “average” so to speak. For instance, they generally require about a 3.4 GPA and 1111 SAT score according to Princeton Review. While these requirements are not as easy as some other schools, they are also not as hard as others such as University of Michigan, Northwestern, NYU, and other big name schools. Because of this, there are many people that are over-qualified who will get accepted and even more people who have average grades and are therefore perfectly qualified for admission into IU undergrad.

The easy application is also cause for the huge number of applications IU receives and therefore accepts, and IU works differently than other schools. At other universities, such as UMich, you have to apply directly to the school you wish to be accepted into and then be accepted directly into that school. at IU, you only have to select a possible major on the application and that college within the university will send you recruitment information. So, IU accepts a lot of students into its general student body because the competition for spots in specific colleges is just non-existent.
