Indiana University's Kelley School of Business is facing record-breaking demand, with over 27,000 students applying for fewer than 2,000 spots. In response, Kelley has implemented sweeping changes to its admissions process—eliminating automatic direct admission based on GPA and test scores, and shifting to a more holistic, academic review system starting with the Fall 2026 class.

In this episode, we explore what these radical policy changes mean for high school applicants, current IU students, and college counselors across the country. We break down the impact of tougher grade requirements, controversy over short-notice implementation, and what future applicants need to do differently to stay competitive.

Whether you're a student aiming for Kelley or an advisor helping students navigate these shifting policies, this episode gives you the insights you need to stay ahead.
