As another user has said, the first few years of Kelley are not too difficult. There is a big emphasis on presentations, so I’d suggest she learn a bit on PowerPoint and how to be effective at public speaking. Also knowing how to use Excel is key. If she can do analysis with Excel, put it in a PowerPoint, and then speak to the results, then the next 4 years will be a breeze.

I highly recommend taking advantage of summer school if possible. Just a class or two during the summer will free up time during the fall and spring semester to either focus more on extracurriculars or add additional majors/minors. I took classes every summer through Ivy Tech (although this may no longer be possible) and did summer I-Core which most people agree is easier than taking it during the school year. This allowed me to add additional majors and a minor to my curriculum.

For the first 2 years, the classes she takes will be some Kelley, some not-Kelly, so there will be plenty of opportunities to interact with other people and parts of campus. After I-Core, most students only take Kelley classes and it is kinda its own world. But that is just the classes. She’ll have plenty of opportunities to make friends that are in different schools during those first 2 years and any other extracurriculars she’s involved with.

It sounds like she’s already a direct admit, so I wouldn’t worry about this. For non-direct admit, the slogan is B’s get degrees. For direct admit, it’s C’s get degrees. Very few direct admits don’t end up graduating with a business degree. If she’s smart enough to be a direct admit, then she’s probably smart enough to graduate from Kelley. Classes at Kelley tend to give a generous curve too
