We actually booked a red carpet day. In those you can choose to get a specific talk in the Kelley School. Those dates worked better for our schedule than DA days. Just an idea

Are petition results being released in batches ?

Hi, looking for help here. I received an email from Kelley letting me know the deadline to apply for review is 2/1. But I thought I already requested the review. Does anyone know how I can confirm that Kelley received my review request?
log in to kelley review and try to submit petition again. It should say you already submitted one if they have your earlier one
Iād like to know too
Congratulations! When was the petition submitted, if you donāt mind me asking? And what are the stats?
I donāt know if that means I got in but if it does than here you go.
3.83 GPA
1290 SAT
Graduating with my Associate Degree due to dual enrollment with a college GPA of 4.0 (Latin honors as well).
My ECās
Worked a part time job sophomore year to present averaging around 27-30 hours a week.
Much appreciated post!!!
Had a great senior year first semester. How do we have Kelley review see senior year first semester grades? Indiana is not an SRAR school. Will Kelley see it when the high school uploads the semester grades/mid-year report thru common app?
Iām going to reach out through our state regional counselorā¦ I back-filled them with a status update after DSās admission to IUā¦and that petition was submittedā¦more to followā¦

Ok
Keep me posted
As petitions trickle in, there is some perspective to be had.
Kelley will receive around 15,000 applications by Thursday. They will admit around 4,000 of those (including direct auto admit) and enroll around 1700. This means about 1,200 will be admitted on review. It is not easy to be admitted on petition to Kelley and it is a strong accomplishment. It does not mean anyone not admitted is not a strong applicant.
There is a lot of luck in there. I know people like to say their ECs are stellar and essays are strong - but people are admitted mostly by GPA and rigor in the automatic processed IU algorithm. Imagine evaluating 50 applications in a day and trying to determine if their essays are amazing or someoneās 10 ECs are better than anotherās 10 ECs in that 10 minutes you look at the app. AOs are not experts in dance vs soccer vs DECA vs whatever. This is true for every school. There are occasional interesting essays and ECs but itās increasingly about GPA/rigor for colleges especially related to math/sciences/english/social studies. Not about I took 18 APs or have a 5.8 WGPA. And itās also about creating a full class so there will be a percentage of the admitted class not based on GPA solely. They might look at first semester grades and they certainly will allow you to send them in - but probably not much of a factor because itās not apples to apples.
A lot of the already admitted students will be admitted to multiple strong business schools. Some of whom were admitted Friday. Kelley is almost entirely focused on yield of those students right now mostly by DA days. Kelley will yield around 60% of those who attend DA days. It will yield around 25% of the rest so itās a BIG deal for Kelley.
The timing of petitions will be entirely related to DA day acceptance until mid-February and then itās game on. If DA acceptance/attendance is weak - more petitions will be admitted sooner - strong then fewer. There is no value on stressing about timing, you cannot control it. Have to trust the process and understand itās hard. Kelley would like to admit everyone. So would Ross, Broad, Gies or any other Bschool.
When is the first DA day?
Thanks. How do we get semester grades in the hands of Kelley?
Email Kelley and ask or send it in an email as an attachment to them. Odds are extremely high they will not look at them. They do not re-run their algorithm.
My daughter was admitted to IU for pre-business. She had a 29 superscore on her ACT vs. a 30 but met the GPA requirement. Iām not sure why, but she elected not to submit test scores even though she was right on the cutoff and now there isnāt really a way to amend her application (she did mention her score in the essay).
She was accepted by Illinois, Ohio State and Purdue (deferred at Ross and Wisconsin). We are coming out from California and doing all her visits.
We will be touring IU as an admit on the 17th when they do direct admit, but at this point, her petition is still pending so she isnāt invited to DA day.
I just found this board and wondered if anyone has advice on how to handle it. If attendance is not full on DA day, will they allow her to sit through it to see if she wants to attend IU? She is very interested in IU, but she will most likely accept where she is and will not have to go through the secondary step.
They are not going to allow you to attend DA days but they are also not going to physically escort you off the premises. If you ask they will tell you no. If you showed up in a business casual outfit and avoided the nametags and questions or just said you registered and they didnāt have it - who knows. Maybe youāll be admitted by then.
If sheās not going to choose IU anyway because of the secondary step who cares?
She is still very interested in IU but would choose a school where she doesnāt have to go through the step of getting admitted after freshman year. Thanks for the insight.
My mistake that secondary did not mean petition process. It would be kind of weird to be on campus and not attend with actual IU Kelley interest on petition. Thereās a massive auditorium presentation in the morning, if you dressed in business casual I cannot imagine IU even noticing someone walk into that. Same with the tours in the early afternoon. I donāt think anyone is going to be logging into a University portal and checking your admit status.
The Saturday breakout sessions after the presentations might be more of a question as those are pre-assigned based on your survey. āFullā is a relative concept -there will be 2500 people there - 2 people arenāt going to be even noticed.
