<p>Hey everybody,
I'm a student at a community college in Illinois right now and I'm starting to look at schools which I may transfer to once I'm out of here. How likely am I to get admitted in as a transfer student with a 3.4-3.5 GPA? </p>
<p>I've read a little bit on the universities policies and just wondering what classes will I most likely take if I transfer over and attend a semester before applying to the Kelley School of Business? I've already finished business calculus and received a B and a few of other courses that most other schools classify as "business core". </p>
<p>I've also done some research and found that Indiana University is one of the better accounting schools to attend in the country. Do a lot of companies in Chicago recruit from IU? Such as the Big 4 accounting firms.</p>
<p>First, if you’ve ever earned anything below a solid B or a W, you probably shouldn’t waste your time trying to transfer to Kelley. I wish they posted the track record of transfer students who have tried to come to IU and get into Kelley because based anecdotal experience, it must be extremely low. </p>
<p>You must take one course from each of the following areas to apply to Kelley even if you have already taken them. </p>
<p>Complete one course on the IU Bloomington campus from each of the following areas:
Business Analysis (BUS-A 201, BUS-A 202, BUS-L 201, ECON-E 201, ECON-E 202, BUS-K 201, or BUS-X 201)
Mathematics (MATH-M 118<em>, MATH-M 119</em> or ECON-E 370<em>)
Communication (BUS-C 104, BUS-C 204 or ENG-W 131</em>)
Complete one additional course on the IU Bloomington campus in any of the areas above, for a total of four Kelley admissions courses.</p>
<p>I don’t know, I just feel like they try to make it very difficult for students to come in as transfers.</p>
<p>Twice as many Kelley Bloomington accounting majors work in Illinois compared to Indiana after they graduate. The seven largest Chicago firms *(Big Four, Crowe Horvath, Grant Thornton, and McGladrey) and a lot of the rest of the top firms (Ostrow, Plante Moran, CBIZ/Mayer, Blackman Kallick) recruit Kelley. Lots of Fortune 200 companies in Chicago recruit Kelley for their internal audit/accounting departments. </p>
<p>I agree with hkem that you should not try to get into Kelley if you have any W’s or grades less than solid B. Also, I would take finite math in Illinois and transfer the credit to IU. Then take Econ E370 in Bloomington, as it has a much, much higher rate of solid B or higher grades.</p>
<p>Here is a database that shows which classes transfer to IUB.</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses guys, much appreciated.</p>
<p>I’m an A/B student, the only class I’ve received a C in was Macro Economics and it was because of personal reasons. Will this affect my chances of getting into the Kelley School of Business? Retaking it would be no problem.</p>
