3.2 and 1270 got a DA? No way. They must have a much higher weighted GPA.
I think your friend is confused about IU admissions versus DA or someone at admissions made a very serious mistake. The 3.2 is an instant disqualifier unless they petitioned using some special rationale, but that GPA is just too low. On the other hand, what’s their Weighted GPA as that’s what IU uses? I’d ask to see the letter. Same goes for your other friend.
Frankly, someone with a 3.2 in high school is going to have a tough time at Kelley. Then again you’ll hear people saying C’s get degrees, so who knows?
