<p>If I transfer into IU-Bloom as a junior (already applied, probably will get in; have a 3.9/4.0 GPA at DePaul) can I still get into the i-banking workshop? I believe that I will not be able to get into Kelley until 2nd semester of junior year. If I cannot do workshop, how substantial is the difference for aquiring top entry-level finance jobs for those who do just finance, and for those who do finance and the workshop?</p>
<p>Generally you apply for the I-banking program in the first few weeks of your sophomore year (this past year the deadline for application, including interviews was something like September 5th) for entry starting in the summer prior to the junior year. If you are not planning on being a 5-year student, then you are unlikely to be admitted, especially since you would have not even have been admitted to Kelley yet.</p>
<p>As far as getting a good finance job, it doesn't require that you be an IB workshop student. Only 60 or so students go into the IB-program each year, yet approximately 600 students graduate as finance majors annually. Since the average finance student is getting about $43,260
( IU</a> graduates finding opportunities in "lackluster" job market: IU News Room: Indiana University )
it is obvious that it is not just these 60 students that are getting placed into good jobs. Since those kinds of jobs are normally in New York (with its higher salaries and higher living costs), they will exceed the normal one gets if you take a job in Indiana, however.</p>
<p>I see where here:</p>
<p>The</a> Finance Majors 2006</p>
<p>(at the bottom) it says:</p>
<p>THE INVESTMENT BANKING / CAPITAL MARKETS WORKSHOP</p>
<p>Contact Professor David Haeberle (<a href="mailto:dhaeberl@indiana.edu">dhaeberl@indiana.edu</a>) or visit The</a> Investment Banking Workshop at Indiana University</p>
<p>· Purpose: To significantly improve student preparation and placement in investment banking and investment management positions and internships</p>
<p>· Limited number students each year – apply in fall semester of your Junior year</p>
<p>· Admissions criteria: GPA, leadership potential, interest / knowledge of investment banking and investment management, communication skills</p>

<p>Speaker series featuring investment bankers from New York and Chicago</p>
<p>---so I guess that means that they are changing when one applies from early in the sophomore year to early in the junior year based upon what is stated above. This apparently means that they will no longer be requiring potential IB workshop members to show up early back at school during the summer period between the sophomore and junior years as they have in past years. (You used to have to show up about 4-5 weeks before the regular students and take some classes during this period).</p>
<p>yes you can.. i asked david haeberle, who is in charge of that program, the same question. since you must transfer into school of arts and sciences for a semester, u take the investment banking courses and then apply to the workshop once you're admitted to kelly.</p>
<p>Thanks 4 the good insights!</p>
