<p>I know this has been discussed before, but I don't believe this year yet. I have gotten direct admittance into Kelley and accepted into LSA for Michigan and most likely wont get into Ross. I got the 11,000 scholarship from Kelley and was wondering if the 20K a year is worth it? Money isn't an issue but the less I spend the more I have upon graduation. My family is pushing me to go to Michigan, and I will be honest, I am inclined to go that route; however, do have the finances in the back of my mind and the thought of what if I don't get into Ross after freshman year. Can I get CC's opinions on the matter?</p>
<p>Are you instate to Michigan? What are your costs for both schools?</p>
<p>I am OOS Umich would be about 55K and IU 35K</p>
<p>Would you need to take out loans for Michigan or can your family cover the costs? And why don’t you think you’ll get into Ross?</p>
<p>I have a large college fund and whatever is left in it becomes mine to start out and loans would not be needed. I feel that I wont get into Ross because my GPA is 3.88UW/4.3W, 31 ACT, and I didn’t include all of my business ECs. if I had included I would feel better about my chances.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about not getting in pre-admit. It’s completely attainable to do enough to safely get into the bschool after your freshman year as long as you stay on top of your GPA and get involved. And if everything’s covered I wouldn’t consider the price difference too much easier. If you get into Ross after freshman year you’ll have a high enough salary to be fine in that regard right out of school.</p>
<p>If money is not a concern, I think Michigan is worth it, but Kelley is also excellent. What are your career plans?</p>
<p>I want to get into ibanking</p>
<p>In that case, Michigan makes better sense. But you will have to work hard to get into Ross.</p>
<p>How difficult is it to get after freshman year?</p>
<p>IU-Kelley actually does have about 9-10% of their graduating class go into I-banking, so it definitely is a solid option. I don’t think many (or any) end up at the top tier firms like many Ross grads do, though.</p>
<p>You are taking on a risk by coming here w/o being pre-admitted; do you know what you would major in if you were not accepted to Ross? Would you be happy with that? If you have a solid backup plan at Mich, and you know you will put the work in, I think you should come to Mich. The acceptance rate for Ross is approximately 40%, average GPA around 3.6-3.7. </p>
<p>My major would be economics and I can still find my way into ibanking that route but it is much harder. The GPA wise, does anyone know whats the best method to achieve that GPA along side hard work like ideal classes?</p>
<p>In addition to your first year requirements for Ross (calc, econ, and writing) take courses that you have interests in and also are strong in. </p>
<p>I hear great things about Kelley. Though Mark Cuban said that his classes weren’t that challenging and he snuck into MBA classes to give him the edge</p>
<p>I took AP Micro and Macro, Calc BC, Physics B & C, and APUSH. I passed those AP tests but would I be able to retake them so A’s are much more achievable?</p>
<p>You have to retake Micro for Ross (as well as Macro if you’re accepted). I don’t think you can retake the rest (assuming you got a 4 or higher on them). </p>
<p>They really wouldn’t let me take Calc again?</p>
<p>With the sky rocketing of college expenses, more so for out-of-state students, additional financial factors may provide you better answers:
- Other than Kelley & Ross, is there a flagship State business school you have been admitted to, and if so, which one?
- Parents/guardians submitted FAFSA for 2014?
- Your expected family contribution for each school? or YOUR net price for Ross, Kelley & State School?
- Your parents/guardians savings for YOUR undergraduate education (as of now)
- How much CAN they AND are WILLING to CONTRIBUTE over the next 4 years for your UG? Is the total $ adequate for 4 years of education?
- If you don’t land a job on Wall Street right after UG, which other industry would you prefer to work & your specific geographic preferences (top three)?
- Is there a future plan for MBA? </p>
