Indiana University student James Steimle

I photographed James Steimle, a freshman business major from Naperville, Ill., last week for a Chicago Tribune story about the admissions system at the University of Illinois. Steimle, who had a 3.9 GPA in high school, wanted to attend the University of Illinois, but after his application was deferred for several months he decided to attend Indiana. At IU, he was directly admitted to the Kelley School of Business.
