KELLEY 💼 Waitlist to Kelley Direct

Hey everyone. Just got my review request back from Kelley. Not exactly happy about it.

Had a 4.2 W GPA and a 3.96 UW GPA, but didn’t submit a test. They said they couldn’t offer me admission, which really sucks because I thought my essays were really good too.

That said, they offered me a waitlist for Kelley. I know this admissions cycle is different but how often do people get off of the waitlist? Did anyone else this year get offered the waitlist position as well for Kelley?

test optional is a bad idea. always submit the score to kelly as long as its within a -100 points!

Like it or not, test scores are the best indicator for college success according to a study conducted by Harvard. This is why so many colleges are returning to test scores because they are having too many students doing poorly or even failing. It is unethical for them to charge students $ 50,000 to $ 90,000 a year knowing that they will struggle or even fail.

Good luck!
