Step One:
Create Your Semester Plan
Before classes begin, we'll develop an individualized semester strategy built around your schedule, course load, and individual needs. Together we'll identify important deadlines, anticipate potential challenges, and establish a clear plan designed to keep you on track at each step.
Step Two: Find the Right IU Resources (Before You Need Them)
We give our students a comprehensive understanding of all resources including study recommendations, campus support services, tutoring referrals, admission planning tools, and key contacts that can help simplify the freshman-year experience.
Step Three: Build Weekly Study Systems + Track Progress
Success is built through consistency. Throughout the semester, we'll meet regularly to review academic performance, address challenges early, adjust strategies when needed, and ensure you're staying on track.
Step Four: Get 1 on 1 Support When Challenges Arise
Academic setbacks happen. Whether you're struggling in a course, disappointed by an exam score, uncertain about course selection, or simply feeling overwhelmed, you'll have someone to help identify solutions quickly and create a plan moving forward every step of the way.
Step Five: Review Result & Adjust Your Strategy
At the conclusion of each test and the semester, we'll review your academic progress, identify strengths and areas for improvement, celebrate key accomplishments, and develop a strategy for the upcoming term to keep momentum moving forward.

Who is it for?
APEX is for IU pre-business students who are serious about earning Kelley admission and want structure from day one. It’s a fit for students who want accountability, a clear weekly plan, and course-specific strategies—especially during the transition into freshman-year academics.
How does it help IU Pre-Business Students?
APEX helps students identify academic risks early and build a consistent weekly routine around studying, assignments, and exam prep. We guide students on how to approach each prerequisite course, how to use IU resources effectively (before it’s urgent), and how to adjust their plan as the semester gets more demanding.
Why should students trust it?
APEX was built from firsthand experience navigating the Kelley pre-business process and earning admission to the Kelley School of Business, including a 4.0 freshman-year GPA and A/A+ grades in every Kelley prerequisite. The program turns that experience into a repeatable system—so students can avoid common freshman-year mistakes and follow a clear plan.
