<p>If accepted into the school from oos, how hard is it to transfer into the b-school? I am talking about class difficulty/curve of classes.</p>
<p>Lol OOS has nothing to do with the difficulty. Depending on your abilities, it may seem difficult. You must maintain all grades at least a B, while taking Kelley admission pre req’s such as Accounting, Computers in Business, Finite Mathematics, etc. It all depends on how well you note take and study. I aced finite, and have A’s in both accounting and computers in business now, you need to be motivated and you’ll be fine</p>
<p>VERY difficult! My son was hoping to. Thought it was just as easy as maintaing a B but there is one math class in particular that was next to impossible! Most students failed out and while he was there he learned that this was a common pitfall for most of the hopefuls</p>
<p>lol don’t listen to names1
many freshman enter the university as non direct admits and so it can’t be that ridiculously difficult
just be focused and work hard and u will be fine.</p>
<p>It is not necessarily easy. You can search for threads using “transfer”. This one had more info. Others may know if you can take the finite math M118 at another campus this summer. </p>

<p>Thanks for all the responses, Finite seems to be the biggest issue for me. I am OK at math (calculus and what not) but I dont want to go to IU and get completely destroyed due to this one class. There really is no way around it is there? I’ve searched every thread and read almost every testimonial regarding the class, which makes me seem to believe its split 50/50, either your love it or hate it. How hard is the Computers in Business class?</p>
<p>It’s not bad. Here’s my take on Finite:</p>
<p>I got a 5 on the AP BC test so I have calc 1 and 2 credit. However, finite is a beast of its own. You know that stuff you learned in elementary like the odds of rolling a 6 twice on a dice? Well finite is that stretched and so obscure that you’re not sure it’s even related anymore. However, if you have a grasp on the concepts, you will be fine. Don’t be satisfied with not understanding how something functions. Watch the finite videos provided and take every practice exam test. Forewarning: the first test is super easy, and most kids fall behind after it because they’re coasting through. However, that’s when attention is needed most as some concepts become vague.</p>
<p>This is coming from a student who had an A- in finite after a C+ on the 3rd test and needed a 93+ to ace the class. I got a 98 on the final. If you learn the practice exams, you’ll know the types of questions. They repeat every type. Same stuff different test.</p>
<p>Out of the four courses provided, finite is the hardest weed out class correct? I remember doing a bit of finite… it actually seemed exactly how you described it. Is it possible to re-take the finite course in case you dont maintain a “B” average or is it a one shot sort of deal? How many people are in the class? I just want to get an overall picture of exactly what I may be going up against as my calculus is nowhere near a 5 on the BC test (probably a 3).</p>
<p>It’s a toss up between Finite or Accounting with biggest weed out. If you google iu grade distribution, you can see how classes generally do. Search math 118. As for class sizes, they’re usually giant lecture halls. Mine was about 270 people. The smallest class I’ve heard of was around 80. As for retaking, it depends how you do. If you get a B-, don’t. However, by the end of drop with W period, you should know how well you’ll do.</p>
<p>Are there also any specific time requirements in which I must complete the classes in? UNC-CH makes you complete their sequence of pre-reqs in one semester and if you dont, well then your not getting into the b-school (which is why I am heavily considering IU), so its just mainly accounting/finite in which I should be worried about? I was also reading they take into consideration past grades (from other colleges)… if I have approximately 7 W’s will that hurt me in my application to Kelley? I am not even too sure how many credits they will accept from me as I’m coming from a CC.</p>
<p>Yeah they will notice the 7 W’s, but again, they don’t know why you took W’s. You could have needed emergency or something. So it isn’t detrimental, but 7 is a lot. Technically there is no requirement, but most students try to get the pre reqs done before 2nd year to be on track to graduate after 4 years. But with Kelley which makes it so tough, you only have one chance. If you apply and don’t get in, you don’t have another chance.</p>
<p>Yeah I have a reason for my 7 but if I have high enough GPA they should overlook it? I have about 40 units with a 3.7 GPA.</p>
<p>Yeah I’m sure you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>I think it is unlikely that you could get into Kelley with seven W’s on your transcript. According to this Kelley Admissions Blog, which is from 2008-2009, only one W puts you in a bad place as far as being accepted. They probably get at least 1500 applicants a year, and I doubt more than a few, if any, have that many W’s.
[Kelley</a> Admissions Blog](<a href=“http://kelleyadmit.blogspot.com/]Kelley”>http://kelleyadmit.blogspot.com/)</p>
<p>Also, cumulative gpa means very little. A 3.0 with all solid B’s will get you guaranteed acceptance; a 3.7 with any W’s or B-'s or less means you are not guaranteed acceptance.</p>
<p>53% of the 290 students who applied during Fall 2008 were accepted. The percentage has probably fallen since then. Higher percentages of direct admits are admitted each year, fifty percent in 2007-08 compared to 60% in 2010-11 per BusinessWeek, leaving fewer spots for non-direct admits.</p>
<p>You can check the Credit Transfer Service to see how your cc credits will transfer to IU.

<p>You having possibly earned credit for M119 Calculus at your cc is probably not a good thing, since it then means you would be locked into taking finite or a higher calculus (I wouldn’t recommend it) or a three hundred level math class that substitutes for E370 in Bloomington. If you brain is not “wired” for finite (I don’t know how else to describe it), then you could be very difficult to get a solid B. </p>
<p>As far as time to complete requirements, it could be done in one semester for a transfer student that has at least 14 credits. And I would do it all in one semester, too, to save money by spending only one semester before finding out about your acceptance rather than two semesters. It costs about twenty thousand per semester for OOS students, and transfer students rarely get decent financial aid.</p>
<hr>
<p>Some of the transfer student requirements:</p>
<pre><code>* Complete one course on the IU Bloomington campus from each of the following areas:
o Business Analysis (BUS-A 201, BUS-A 202, BUS-L 201, ECON-E 201, ECON-E 202, BUS-K 201, or BUS-X 201)
o Mathematics (MATH-M 118*, MATH-M 119* or ECON-E 370*)
o Communication (BUS-X 104, BUS-X 204 or ENG-W 131*)
- Complete one additional course on the IU Bloomington campus in any of the areas above, for a total of four Kelley admissions courses.

<p>lets say I do get a solid “B” in finite and accounting, there is no way to offset my 7 W’s are there? That sucks, for some reason I thought all I needed to get into Kelley was a 3.2 in IU’s “weeding out” courses. Also, I cant check how my courses will transfer as that site only lists 3 courses taken at my CC.</p>
<p>I don’t think anybody on this board can tell you definitively your chances. It could be with the seven W’s that you have no chance regardless of the grades you get at IUB. No one can say. But that is a lot of W’s for somebody applying to Kelley. They say in the transfer student section that they put less weight on courses taken prior to IU, so maybe the W’s won’t keep you out. Who can say for sure.</p>
<p>Also, you may not have many transfer credits that IU will accept, only nine or so now, if you are getting three credits each for the three classes from your cc listed in the Credit Transfer Service. IU apparently will not evaluate classes not listed in the Credit Transfer Service for your school until you actually start taking classes at IU (per the Credit Transfer website), which would make scheduling very difficult because you would not know for certain whether you have to retake classes for IUB credit until after you are a student in Bloomington, except for the three courses that are listed. Also, you might be transferring to IU when it accepts only a handful of your cc credit; but you would not know how credits and exactly which IU equivalent courses until two semesters or so after you get here, as they will evaluate only six unlisted courses for a student each semester, per this document, and you probably have cc credit for at least ten classes more than the ones IU will give you credit for now:</p>
<p><a href=“http://cts.admissions.indiana.edu/CTA_FRM.pdf[/url]”>http://cts.admissions.indiana.edu/CTA_FRM.pdf</a></p>
<p>Also, you want IU to grant you credit for specific IU courses, not just for undistributed credit, which they often do.</p>
<p>You have been extremely helpful in reviewing my case and I appreciate it. I’m not too sure what to do now, I might just give Kelley a call and see what they have to say as I’m sure i’m not the first person with this problem. As far as granting credits… as long as they grant 15 or so, I don’t see a problem… I am just concerned with the amount of W’s I have. Thanks again for the info!</p>
<p>I Just asked my son, he said trhe class the a lot of them caved in was k201</p>
