2012 Official Notre Dame Football Thread

[FirstTimer]

In order to major in journalism you have to be accepted into the "college," usually around your sophomore year. You can't even begin taking core classes towards that degree until you've applied and been accepted. Business school has similar entry system but the journo requirements are stiffer.



Anyway, enough derailing for me. As you were.

NIU's education program is the same way.

[FirstTimer]

isnt that the way most schools are?

Not sure. In relation to journalism, I don't think so.

IU is like that for every major.

You start out as a gen ed student and get accepted to your college after your Freshman or Sophomore year.

Yeah but is it truly an "application processes" or do they pretty much just take everyone. I know at NIU they were only taking like 35 education majors a year.

You just have to meet the requirements.

Which are typically just a credit hours taken/GPA threshold?

Which are typically just a credit hours taken/GPA threshold?

Pretty much. These are the requirements for the business college:

Admission Requirements (Fall 2012 – Spring 2013 applicants)
Completion of 26–70 hours of college coursework. For most students, this will require two semesters on the IU Bloomington campus.
Consistent "B" performance across all courses. Please note that a B– does not meet this requirement. The admissions committee reviews grades in all courses, not just business courses.
Graded courses that a student elects to take as Pass/Fail weaken the application. Beginning in Fall 2013, the Kelley Admissions Committee will consider any graded course that is taken Pass/Fail as a grade of B- or lower.
The grade for college level coursework completed in high school or prior to matriculation at IU Bloomington will be factored into a student's application review. However, the most important grades will be those taken at IU Bloomington.
Demonstrate commitment to course load. Students with no W's in coursework have stronger applications.
Course requirements:
Complete one course on the IU Bloomington campus from each of the following areas:
Business Analysis (BUS-A 201, BUS-A 202, BUS-L 201, ECON-E 201, ECON-E 202, BUS-K 201, or BUS-X 201)
Mathematics (MATH-M 118*, MATH-M 119* or ECON-E 370*)
Communication (BUS-C 104, BUS-C 204 or ENG-W 131*)
Complete one additional course on the IU Bloomington campus in any of the areas above, for a total of four Kelley admissions courses.
Some international students will test into Second Language Studies courses (SLST) for the purpose of English language improvement. Students must complete these courses before their application to Kelley will be reviewed.

The business school is one you can be accepted out of high school tho:

Direct Freshman Admission (Fall 2013)

For fall 2013, you will automatically be offered admission to Kelley prior to entering IU if you meet the criteria below. If you do not meet these criteria, you will not be offered direct admission.

Admitted to IU Bloomington and indicated business as your intended major
ACT composite score of 29 or SAT total of 1270 (including only math and critical reading sections)*
3.7 GPA (on a 4.0 scale)**

So three more years until ND gets the trifecta (HS, NCAA, and NFL).

Redfield got his 5th star today

Will be rooting for you guys to take out Alabama.

Will be rooting for you guys to take out Alabama.

Why's that?

[mgoblue2290]

Why's that?

The only team I wouldn't root for of Michigan's rivals is Ohio State, maybe Michigan State too. Notre Dame seems like a likable team and not to mention you didn't even start out ranked. Plus I despise Alabama.

[Jayrock]

Seems like AQM, Redfield, and Bryant are all wrapped up now.

All is well in South Bend.
