What's up guys? I'm looking into the IU Kelley School of Business and I heard something about a petition process for admissions. Can anyone explain what that's all about and how it works? Thanks for the help!
Hey! I can definitely shed some light on the IU Kelley petition process. The petition process essentially allows applicants who don't meet the direct admission standards for the Kelley School of Business to still have a shot at getting in.
When you apply to IU and select Kelley as your first choice, you'll be either directly admitted if you meet their criteria or placed into the pre-business program if you don't. As a pre-business student, you'll need to complete certain prerequisites during your freshman year, including maintaining a specific GPA and taking some required courses.
Once you've fulfilled those requirements, you can petition for admission into the Kelley School of Business. This typically happens at the end of your freshman year, and you'll need to fill out the petition form provided by Kelley.
The decision on your petition will consider your academic performance at IU, the courses you've taken, as well as any other accomplishments you've achieved during your freshman year. So, the petition process is basically a second chance for students who didn't initially meet direct admission standards. Good luck!
