Kelly Admission Questions

I will be a senior in high school. My GPA is 3.0 unweighted and 3.5 weighted. Most of my classes were honors and a few were APs. SAT was 1910. I played two varsity sports in high school but I don’t have the talent to play D1 college in either sport. I’m out of state. I do not plan to apply for financial aid.

Do I have realistic chance for direct admission to Kelley? If I apply to Kelly and do not get in, am I automatically considered for admission to the College of Arts & Sciences? Would I be considered there on the same basis as someone who applied directly to Arts & Sciences? Am I likely to get admitted there, with my stats? (If I am not likely to get into Kelley direct, should I not bother applying there, and instead just apply to Arts & Sciences, and hope to transfer to Kelley – or should I apply to Kelley anyway, and see what happens?)

If I am a freshman in Arts & Sciences, what do I need to do in my Freshman year in order to get into Kelley? Do I take business classes in freshman year?

And then what happens if I do not get admitted to Kelley – do I just pick some other major in Arts and Sciences, so I can get a degree in something? Can someone who is not at Kelley still do a business minor? (I am assuming not a major)

I know these are pretty basic questions, but I want to make sure I understand the lay of the land before I apply.

Thanks.
