<p>Cspangle, IPFW is not a well respected school. Especially not if you are using your academic record there trying to get into the likes of UChicago and Berkeley, which would cost you 50K a year to attend if by some near miracle you got accepted into them after a year at IPFW. Even Kelley will not accept credit from IPFW for most business classes. </p>
<p>But you can take enough classes at IPFW that will transfer to Kelley and then take IU and Kelley classes for only one semester in Bloomington and find out immediately after that semester whether you are accepted to Kelley. Getting a solid B or higher in every class you take the two semesters at IPFW and one semester in Bloomington will guarantee you acceptance to Kelley. </p>
<p>Kelley is top ten in the country in accounting and finance, and you “Could go to IU Kelley at worst?” You have no money, mediocre high school grades, and only slightly above average SAT scores-- yet you poo-hoo a top ten business school that, after attending IPFW for a year, would cost you less than 10K to discover if you can get accepted to and only 20K a year to attend for three years in favor of extreme reaches for high school students with your academic track record, extremely expensive schools like UChicago and Berkeley?</p>
<p>Do a year at IPFW, taking the pre-business major courses I outlined to you in another thread and then apply to IU, UChicago, Cal, Harvard, etc. and see which ones you get accepted to. If you can’t get all B’s at IPFW when you apply to IU, then forget about Kelley; and if you can’t get a 3.9-4.0 cumulative gpa while having boatloads of extra-curriculars, then forget about the others that you feel so strongly that you are destined to get into.</p>
