<p>has better job prospects in finance (maybe ibanking).</p>
<p>Ohio State or Indiana University</p>
<p>There about same ranked in ugrad finance, and IU is cheaper, so I was just wondering...</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I'd go with IU, but I'm bias(I'm transferring there). But, from what I've gathered IU Kelley schools must be hard as hell, I went to rate my prof. com and every class and every professor is described as hard, no one has anything like easy A or such. I'm kind of nervous.</p>
<p>Thanks for your comment, does anybody else know?</p>
<p>IU Kelley - Hands down. As an overall business school, Kelley is much better (11). Additionaly, they have a finance workshop (hard to get into though) that has excelent placement in i-banking, if that's what you want to do. In terms of classes, remember that hard is good - you'll learn more (in most cases).
And IU being cheaper just sweetens the deal. Do it</p>
<p>I dont have super good stats like a lot of people, so do u think I could still get in?</p>
<p>I'm assuming you're a junior applying next year?
Getting into IU is very easy. The acceptence rate is 82% (although that will change next year I am sure). A 3.0 and a 25ACT (or even less - a guy in my class got in with around a 2.7GPA and a 23ACT). If you have a 3.5 and a 28ACT, you will get directly admitted to Kelley. However, if you don't, don't sweat it. Provided that you maintain a 3.0 freshmen year, you shouldn't have a problem getting in to Kelley for Sophomore year (when 90% of students enter the school). And direct admit really has no special benefits - you're taking the same classes and whatnot - you're really not missing anything.</p>
<p>do Indiana.</p>
<p>No Im not a junior zippo, Im just going to attend any college that Im going to in spring '07, so that I can work for about 8 months. Also, I dont think I can get in direct admit because I only have a 1200 SAT, 3.7 UW GPA, and a 27 ACT. Are there a lot of scholarships for OOS students? Because I know there are a lot for in-state. And about how much do u think I can get over four years? Cause at Ohio State, they're giving me $30,500.</p>
<p>And thanks for your replys guys.</p>
<p>Your GPA is good enough for direct admit, your ACT is one point under, but I think they would give it to you. As far as scholarships go, they have a faculty scholarship that they automatically give to OOS students, up to $28,000. From the looks of your stats, I would expect somewhere around $20K. Additionaly, there are Kelley-school scholarhsips that you can apply for/receive once you are in school.</p>
<p>If I dont get direct admit, does that mean that I have to apply separately? Is it hard to get in that way?</p>
<p>no..all you need is a 3.0 your freshmen year and have taken the admission courses</p>
<p>Alright cool.</p>
<p>What if I decide to go to a local JC and then transfer over to IU after one or two years...can u get direct admit that way? Also, is it harder to get into Kelley that way?</p>
<p>Only freshmans can be directly admitted, and no it's not harder that way. I'm transferring to IU, in the spring of 2007, from a 4-year school(they are pretty strict about the business classes they accept, none from the 300 level). You have to do apply as a UD student, and you can apply your first semester there for the bschool and I-core, and they will consider I guess your previous semester grades at the junior college. Make sure your classes transfer though. are you OOS?</p>
<p>Ya Im OOS. Whats a UD student? Also, whats I-core?</p>
<p>UD stands for University Division, which is where students who haven't declared a major, or haven't been admitted to a major, get advised etc. I-core is the junior level "intergrative core" where you take 4 classes simutaneously in marketing, mangement, finance, strategy, in intergrate them into each to see how the all relate. Supposely it's pretty difficult, and the "rite of passage" for a Kelley student it also claimed to be exclusive to IU, although various other schools are trying to mimick it.</p>
<p>I-core sounds pretty cool, and is it required? Also, does IU have like a student management fund where only students do investments and that type of stuff?</p>
<p>Ohio state has the invesment management type thing with the investment fund, IU has the ibanking workshop which is trying to strengthen investment management as well. I'm not sure if IU has an ivestment fund per say, but their are opportunities to practive investment strategy in clubs like the invesment club and what not. IU is also starting a management and strategy consulting workshop if you are interested.</p>
<p>Ohio State isn't a great option if you're considering banking.</p>
