Review request for direct admission to the Kelley School of Business

If you do not meet the criteria for automatic direct admission to Kelley, you must submit a review request by February 1 to be considered for direct admission. A review request is just that—you are requesting that the Kelley admissions team review your application to determine if your academic and personal experiences qualify you for direct admission.

Request review is your opportunity to demonstrate to the Kelley Admission committee you are sincerely interested in direct admission and how your academic and personal experiences have prepared you to thrive at Kelley.

Unsure why you didn’t qualify for automatic direct admission? One or more of the following apply:

You don’t meet the required GPA or test score.
You applied test optional.
You attended more than one high school.
You missed the November 1 application deadline.
Your IU admissions letter indicates “Pre-Business.”

How to submit a review request

Step 1: Complete your application to IU

Apply to Indiana University, beginning August 1, the fall of your senior year of high school. November 1 is the early action, non-binding deadline. Non-binding means that even if you’re accepted, you’re not required to enroll at IU Bloomington.

If you apply after November 1, you will need to submit a review request after you complete the IU application.

Select one of our Kelley undergraduate business majors as your intended major on your IU Bloomington application. This selection isn't permanent—you will likely change your major as you move through the Kelley curriculum. For Common App applicants, you can choose one of 13 Kelley majors listed with "BSB" (bachelor of science in business). This includes “Business Exploratory BSB,” which enables you to explore all Kelley majors.

Step 2: Create your IU Computing account with your University ID number

You will receive an email with this ID number after you apply to IU Bloomington. Remember to check spam and junk folders. Note: It may take up to five business days before your account is active and you can submit a review request.

Step 3: Fill out a review request

The review request will autofill your GPA and test score (if applicable), and allow Kelley to access your transcripts. The review request application doesn't take long to complete. You will be asked to submit two essays limited to 250 words.

Complete review request

Note: If you've submitted a review request and received a confirmation email, do not submit a new request. This will overwrite your original date of submission and cause delays in review and decision.
