To be automatically admitted to the Kelley School through standard admission, you must:

  • Complete 12-13.5 credit hours (4-5 courses) of Kelley admission courses on the IU Bloomington campus (see above)
  • Have 30 credit hours of college coursework on the transcript by the end of the semester in which you apply
  • Earn grades of A's and B's, with no Ws (withdrawals), in all courses (a grade of B- does not meet this requirement)
  • Achieve a 3.5 cumulative IU GPA by the end of the semester in which you apply (GPAs will not be rounded up)
  • The admissions committee reviews grades in all courses, not just business courses. Graded courses that are taken pass/fail weaken an applicant's application; the Kelley Admissions Committee will consider any graded course that is taken pass/fail as a grade of B- or lower.
  • Demonstrate commitment to your course load. Students with no W's in coursework have stronger applications.

Applications for standard admission are accepted in both the fall and spring semesters. Most students apply during the second semester (spring) of their freshman year and receive notification about their admission in June. Admission decisions are made only after official grades are posted at the end of the application semester.
