Enroll in a couple of the online courses at Indiana State during the summer as a non-degree student, do well, then add them to your application. Interact with the instructors, and at the end of the semester ask the instructors if it is OK to use them as references on your application. Taking and passing courses from your target University is certainly one way to say "I can prove that I am up for it".

I was trying to say that you can apply the same method that Grads use, but in this case, to gain entry into the Bachelors program. In other words, take a couple of the online courses that pertain to the degree from ISU as a non-enrolled student over the summer.... do well....dazzle the professors, then apply to the program at ISU.
If you have successfully racked up A's or B's from ISU over the summer and can get a recommend from one of the professors, I think that would help the case for full admittance to the program.
