How far behind will be if I follow this strategy?

<p>You can look over some past E201 departmental exams to get an idea of the difficulty of E201. As standard admit requirements stand now, you don’t need to take E201 at IUB. You can take it online at Ivy Tech (you can still sign up; I would take W131 (Engl 111) equivalent, too, and get it over with) or somewhere else, transfer the credit to IUB, and then take G202. G202 is much easier than E201. The Kelley standard admit required classes you take then would be M119, A100, G202, C104, and K201. I think that is the easiest set of Icore prereqs/standard admit classes to take to get into Kelley with all solid B’s and above.

<p>I don’t think you can take W131 at Ivy Tech over winter break. They may have some eight-weeks sessions, but most are 16 weeks.</p>

<p>Do you plan to graduate with 150 credits. Big Four and major regional accounting firms will not interview you unless you state on your resume that you are onpace to graduate with 150 credits. To do that in four years, you will need lots of AP or community college credit, probably at least 20 credits worth. If you take only A100 at IUB your freshman year, you should probably take atleast one or both of A201 and A202 at a cc (not Ivy Tech, though) or someplace else so that you can take A311 and maybe A312 also your sophomore year. That pace will put you way ahead of at least 90% of accounting majors who start IUB in Fall 2014 in terms of how many upper-level accounting classes they have completed prior to Icore. All the upper-level accounting classes must be taken at IUB.</p>

<p>Join and be active in the Student Accounting Society and Beta Alpha Psi as soon as you can for networking with other accounting students and recruiters. Try to become an officer in at least one of the clubs. Also, be a K201 tutor, as accounting firms want interns to be proficient in Excel.</p>
