<p>Hi if i were to go to Indiana and want to get into business school standard admit which classes should i pick out of these that would give me an realistic option to get in if i work really hard AND if i also want to have a social life as well (Fraternity) </p>

<p>Completion of at least 12 credit hours from the following courses on the IU Bloomington campus:</p>

<pre><code>BUS-K 201 or BUS-X 201
</code></pre>

<p>Choose one additional option from this list: ENG-W 131*, BUS-C 104, BUS-C 204, BUS-L 201, or BUS-G202 AND BUS-D270</p>

<p>Choose two additional options from this list: BUS-A 201, BUS-A 202, ECON-E 201, ECON-E 202, MATH-M 118<em>, MATH-M 119</em>, ECON-E 370*, OR BUS-A 100 AND BUS-G 202</p>

<p>I am also wondering about this since I have to get into Kelley by standard admissions. Anyone that can help?
Im not sure which to take K201 or X201.</p>

<p>Whats the “easiest” class ENG-W 131*, BUS-C 104, BUS-C 204, BUS-L 201, or BUS-G202 AND BUS-D270?</p>

<p>On the last one Im planning on taking MATH 119(Brief Survey of Calculus 1) or 118(Finite Math) AND the A100 with G202.</p>

<p>I would take the highlighted courses.</p>

<p>BUS-K 201 or BUS-X 201</p>

<p>Choose one additional option from this list: ENG-W 131*, BUS-C 104, BUS-C 204, BUS-L 201, or BUS-G202 AND BUS-D270</p>

<p>Choose two additional options from this list: BUS-A 201, BUS-A 202, ECON-E 201, ECON-E 202, MATH-M 118<em>, MATH-M 119</em>, ECON-E 370*, OR BUS-A 100 AND BUS-G 202 </p>

<hr>

<p>Stay away from the following courses at IUB; take them at a community college or AFTER being accepted to Kelley:
– W131: this class is taught by graduate students, and many are unfair graders</p>

<p>– E201 and E202: these are classes with giant sections and very difficult departmental mid-terms and finals</p>

<p>– A201 and A202 are tough grading classes and difficult for many freshmen</p>

<p>– Do not take M211 instead of M119, no matter what your adviser recommends and regardless of how high you score on the math placement test.</p>

<h2>– Do not take finite math freshman year. M119 is easier for most people. M119 has a low solid B rate, but that is probably because hundreds of students that should be taking M119 are taking M211 instead. It probably seriously drags down the overall gpa for M119 when students who should be taking it instead of M211 are removed from the pool of possible M119 gpa scores. </h2>

<p>ALSO:</p>

<p>Take W131 and E201 (AP or community college) prior to starting at IUB (finite, too, if you can find a transferable equivalent; or just save it for after you get accepted to Kelley). You will come in with at least six credits; then take only 12 (minimum for full-time status) or so credits freshman year of the above highlighted classes and fill the rest of your schedule with the easiest classes you can find. Get all solid B’s and above, and you are GUARANTEED admission to Kelley. If you can take only one class prior to starting at IUB, make sure that you take E201, as credit for E201 is required for you to take G202. If you don’t have credit for E201 before starting at IUB, then you can’t use this strategy, as you will have to substitute G202 for a much more demanding class from the third list.</p>

<p>You must take G202 and A100 if you follow this plan. A100 is not the weed-out class that it was a few years ago. It is still a difficult class, but if you immerse yourself in past departmental A100 exams, you should be able to identify the tricky questions that characterize the A100 exams. </p>

<p>Use the Credit Transfer Service to find classes that will transfer to IUB.

<p>Thank you very much…so if you think i take your highlighted classes my freshman year i have a chance of getting in if i work really hard as well as having a social life (fraternity). Obviously schools comes first but im wondering if i can have a social life as well</p>

<p>also i should say i am very bad at math if that makes a difference </p>

6

<p>sorry and also if im an incoming freshman can i take a class at a community college in the summer that will count towards credit to get into Kelley before i get to college if the credits work out?</p>

<p>Read the requirements to get accepted to Kelley very carefully. You must take a minimum number of courses on the IUB campus. Sure, credits that you earn in the summer before starting at IUB can be transferred to IUB if IUB accepts them. You can find lists of what they accept and from what schools on the Credit Transfer Service website.

<p>If you plan to major in finance, you should be pretty comfortable with roughly a “calculus 1” level of math. You will need math and Excel at a pretty high proficiency level in your Icore finance class and certainly in most of your upper-level finance classes. You can avoid finite at IUB by taking it at a cc or elsewhere and transferring the credit to IU. You have taken at least pre-calculus in high school?</p>

<p>Here are some M119 and M118 resources to give you an idea of what you need to be comfortable with.</p>
