UIUC or IU for Finance Major?

College Majors Business Major
1

<p>I am currently a student in Purdue university and i just finished my first year of study in accouting major but after i found out my interest in business isn't really accouting and Purdue doesn't offer a good finance major or programs i plan to tansfer out of purdue after next semster </p>

<p>So here are my questions, is UIUC's Finance major better of IU's? which is cheaper as outstater? My GPA overall is 3.17 and 3.4 for last sem do i have a shot for either of these schools? If i transfer, do they check my SAT score and just looking my college scores?</p>

<p>I know i post this thread in other section as well im sorry admin and i need the answer fast pls dont delete this.
Thanks</p>

<p>IU imo is better for finance. Let me put it this way, if you do well at Kelley as a finance major, have nice ecs and internships, you can get a nice gig upon graduation. Some people might argue that UIUC is better, but most don't. Prices can be found on collegeboard, SAT isnt going to be that much of a determining factor assuming you didn't do too bad (1800+). From what I understand transfers rely heavily on college gpa and not so much on high schools stats, though they will want to see them. Hope this helps!</p>

<p>Yeah, uiuc has the edge for accounting, but for anything else IU is probably better</p>

<p>For Finance, IU is a solid program - however, I will say this: UIUC’s ranking according to US World is top-10 for finance, tied with CM, [Undergraduate</a> business specialties: Finance - Best Colleges - Education - US News and World Report](<a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/college/spec-finance]Undergraduate”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/college/spec-finance), that’s only 1 notch under IU. </p>

<p>The synergy from the top-ranked Accountancy program shouldn’t be overlooked (I personally graduated with a dual degree).</p>

<p>I’d say hold your breath until you actually get into the business schools at IU or UIUC. I study at UIUC and I know alot of kids with reasonably good GPAs being denied admission to the business school (I believe the average GPA for intercollege transfer itself about 3.5/3.6. your GPA seems low IMO)</p>

<p>OP has no shot at UIUC Business.</p>

<p>Agreed. I didn’t want to sound to rude. But if you have some great extra-curriculars or can explain why you have the low grades there might be a small chance. Here’s the link to the GPA chart for inter-college transfers. This isn’t for off campus transfers so i’d assume that it would be even harder for you.</p>

<p>IU is better for finance, overall ranking, and job placement</p>

<p>You are going to have a difficult time being accepted to either school, and getting into either school’s business program will be even harder. It will be easier to be accepted into IU’s business program than U of I. IU does have a slightly better finance program, while U of I has a slightly better accounting program.</p>

<p>i can tell your interest is not in accounting considering you cannot spell it</p>

I presume you will have two years of college by the time you transfer. In that case, most colleges will just consider your college performance.</p>
