<p>Hey,
I just need someone to clarify this</p>
<p>On the website it says the requirements to enter the program are anyone with a B or higher in ALL COURSES.
Can they reject someone who does get b or higher in all their papers/courses/subjects ?</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>Short answer-No</p>
<p>aha thanks !</p>
<p>I’d just like to clarify that the requirement they are speaking of with Bs or higher in all courses is freshman year of college, not high school.</p>
<p>Yep ! I know that but thanks again !</p>
<p>All,</p>
<p>Would anyone be able to help with the following two questions?</p>
<p>1) What is the % of Kelley freshmen admitted into the Honor program?
2) What is the % of Business student admitted into the Honor program after 1st year? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>lukuanvx,</p>
<p>Your questions have not been discussed previously as far as I know, however I would like to address the odds of Kelley admission as a direct admit and as a standard admit, which were questions discussed in two different threads about a year ago.</p>
<p>Here’s the link to one of them–and in post 8 of this thread, it links to the other one.</p>
<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/indiana-university-bloomington/619890-kelley-admission.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/indiana-university-bloomington/619890-kelley-admission.html</a></p>
<p>As I said in post 13 of this thread, I estimate the standard admission chances (that is, those who didn’t get in via direct admit status) at around 30% to 40%. It is not a great percentage–but this does reflect two things: (1) the fact that the spots are being filled up earlier by direct admit/honors students, and (2) a few of the courses are fairly challenging–in particular, the beginning computer, accounting (not actually required for admission) and math (calculus/finite math) classes.</p>
<p>Also, I don’t know where dibbasatya gets his/her info on stating that if you get a straight B average, then you will definitely be admitted to Kelley. This is the suggested level to achieve, but it doesn’t state anywhere that this guarantees you admission.</p>
<p>As far as your questions, if I had to guess, I’d say something like 20% of Kelley admitted students may qualify in total–meaning both freshmen and those who get into Kelley at a later point–for the honors society after freshmen year. The majority of these will come from the direct admit Kelley class-but I’m guessing most of them don’t qualify until after they’ve gotten through the freshmen year and gotten a 3.7 GPA during that year.</p>
<p>Calcruzer, Thanks for outlining the scenario. The 20% total is pretty competitive. Would you think that the students outside the honor program have a good opportunity for receiving a top rated education? Is I-core only for Honor students? Do professors care about students outside the Honor program?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Calcruzer, Sorry for asking about I-core (to be taken on the 1st half of Junior year). I found the answer. I do notice that there are at least 7-8 electives (below) of interest to most Finance students not counting the Experimental Courses. Can students really be able to take the four required courses plus the 7-8 electives during their last 1.5 years? How many of them can finish in four years?</p>
<hr>
<p>Finance Electives (Choose 12 credit hours, with at least 6 credit hours at the 400-level)
Corporate Finance Electives:</p>
<pre><code>* F307 Working Capital Management
<p>Investments Electives:</p>
<pre><code>* F335 Security Trading and Market Making
<p>International Finance Elective:</p>
<pre><code>* F494 International Finance
</code></pre>
<p>Banking Electives:</p>
<pre><code>* F446 Banking and Financial Intermediation
<p>Entrepreneurial Elective:</p>
<pre><code>* F317 Venture Capital and Entrepreneurial Finance
</code></pre>
<p>Experimental Courses:</p>
<pre><code>* F390 Experimental Courses
<p>lukuanvx, you can easily complete the finance major upper level courses in the last three semesters at Bloomington. And if you get all of these requirements out of the way before taking i-core, then it is not even that difficult to double-major in accounting and finance: 27 credit hour core; international dimension; 62 credit hour gen ed; and, of course, the i-core prerequisites. This is because a lot of the accounting classes substitute for finance requirements. See here: [Kelley</a> School of Business Undergraduate 2008-2010 Online Bulletin: Bachelor of Science in Business](<a href=“http://www.indiana.edu/~bulletin/iub/business/2008-2010/bachelor.shtml#df]Kelley”>http://www.indiana.edu/~bulletin/iub/business/2008-2010/bachelor.shtml#df)</p>
<p>My son will get the acct/finance double major, but he won’t take any 300-400 level acct/finance classes until after taking I-core next fall. His last three semesters he will take:</p>
<p>Junior 2 15 cr
BUS A311 Intermediate Accounting I (3 cr.)
BUS A325 Cost Accounting (3 cr.)
BUS Z302 Managing Behavior in Orgs (3 cr.)
BUS G345 Money, Banking, Capital (3 cr.)–this class can be applied to the finance major
BUS X420 Bus Career Plan (2 cr.)
BUS X301 Comm Accountants (1 cr.)</p>
<p>Senior 1 15 cr
BUS A312 Intermediate Accounting II (3 cr.)
BUS F303 Intermediate Investments(3 cr.)
BUS F305 Inter Corporate Finance(3 cr.)
BUS A337 Accounting Info Systems (3 cr.)
BUS A329 Taxes and Decision Making (3 cr.)</p>
<p>Senior 2 12 cr
BUS A422 AFA OR A437 (3 cr.)
BUS A424 Auditing (3 cr.)
BUS F307 Working Capital Management(3 cr.)
BUS F446 Banking and Financial Inter. (3 cr.)</p>
<p>He will probably take A329 (listed above) in the Summer 2011, as it is offered right after the Spring semester ends and meets for only three weeks, allowing him to only need 12 credit hours his Senior 1 semester.</p>
<p>Again, you have to have 27 credit hour core; international dimension; 62 credit hour gen ed; and, of course, the i-core prerequisites out of the way before the start of Junior year. But this is easy to accomplish by taking summer classes at community college, and even easier if you bring in the right AP credits and easier still if you test into the fourth semester of a foreign language and satisfy the international dimension with only one three-credit class.</p>
<p>bthomp1 and All,</p>
<p>Thanks for the insight. The curriculum is indeed very solid.</p>
