What are the benefits of being in the Kelley Business Honors Program. Would participating really add anything to my resume or help my chances of getting into the 3/2 MBA program?
I asked my daughter this question when she was thinking about applying. She isn’t interested in the 3/2 program, but a benefit she saw was getting into a better ICORE group.
Honors I-Core is the biggest benefit. Second would probably be just having it on your resume. Then there are many small side-opportunities if you choose to take advantage of them.
What about honors I-Core makes it different or better than the regular I-Core?
regular i-core has a case that they work on the last 10 days (after finals) with no presentation. Honors i-core works on the case throughout the semester and has to present at the end.
If you want to look at it in a very pragmatic way, the grades are the thing that’s better about honors I-core than regular. I failed my strategy final and still got an A in the course. It is a lot of work, but the grading is pretty easy.
In addition to the grading, Honors I-Core was a good experience. You get close to your team. You actually enjoy working with them because everyone works hard. The professors are pretty good as well.
