The Kelley School of Business will implement new admissions policies for the upcoming semester.
Students entering IU in fall of 2026 or later will not be eligible for automatic direct admission to the business school. All applicants seeking direct admission to Kelley must complete a Kelley Prospective Inventory which will be reviewed by the Kelley Admissions Committee.
The committee will consider multiple aspects of applicants including rigor and academic performance in high school, academic achievements and “the potential for success at Kelley”.
Previously, applicants seeking direct admission could qualify automatically by maintaining at least a 3.8 GPA and a 1370 SAT or 30 ACT score.
The business school has also changed admissions criteria for students applying as standard admits.
Students pursuing standard admissions to Kelley entering IU Bloomington from fall 2025 to spring 2026 must receive at least a B+ in all classes in order to be automatically admitted, and students entering IU Bloomington from fall 2026 to spring 2027 must receive at least an A- in all classes to be automatically admitted.
Previously, standard admits needed to receive at least a B in all classes to be automatically admitted.
