If you do not qualify for direct admission, you will not be behind.
Instead, you will start in University Division as a pre-business student, and then apply once you have completed all of the standard admission requirements for Kelley. As a University Division student, you will take the same foundation courses in the first two years as a direct admit student.
also you cannot get a grade lower than a B (B- and your done) and you won’t be admitted and be stuck as a university division. also would think the direct admits will have a distinct advantage when it comes to guidance from the business department resources.
