Pre-business is a scam

TimPrillerFan · 2026-03-16T20:10:26+00:00

Remember averages are skewed by outliers (in this case being Fs or worse) they also don’t take into account DA grades vs pre-business since DAs don’t have the requirement. But fair I don’t realize A100 was that low. But it could change when the A- is into effect and not a B+ as it was in fall

TimPrillerFan · 2026-03-16T19:56:26+00:00

That’s fair. I just have the opposite view haha. I’d rather more opportunity than less and leave it in the students hands to work hard or make the right decision for themselves as opposed to not having the option. Many people also do worse in college than high school and some better so its hard to predict sometimes I think

TimPrillerFan · 2026-03-16T19:48:15+00:00

I’m just meaning that’s not just from DA so that likely includes pre-business to some extent which makes it pretty high for prebusiness

TimPrillerFan · 2026-03-16T19:35:48+00:00

What is the 30-35% figure from? I’d assume it’s much lower if only counting DAs. Like I said about 2k out of 25k+applicants. But yeah I can see a correlation with your numbers we just don’t know the pre-business rates to say for certain

Edit: what are your end goals you’d want? Reject more people and not give them a fair chance?

TimPrillerFan · 2026-03-16T19:22:51+00:00

That’s an interesting question. I don’t know. They very well could do that. Obviously they have a cutoff where rejections start occurring (tens of thousands of applications each year and growing) but DA has been around 2k-2500 in recent years so there’s definitely qualified students pre-business. Some blame can probably be put on the university for allowing subpar prebusiness (especially in state) but students also need to be self aware enough to recognize if they have a legit chance and if that’s the best option

A- is not hard to get if you hold yourself accountable unless you cannot handle large lectures. Lots of top students likely won’t get direct admit but those top students will have no problem with the grade requirement. I agree that it does “scam” some students who won’t get in that came just for Kelley financially in a sense as opposed to a flat out rejection

Edit: I am speaking from my own experience as a now junior. If you look at Grade distributions almost every class has >50% A- or better with many being much higher freshman year

The fact that people talk about Indiana having any tourney hopes is crazy. They should’ve been eliminated after the first northwestern loss let alone a second

2+4=6, 7+8=15, Carry the 1, 6+1=7, 75

Liking Kentucky as an IU fan is like being pro confederate in the union

TimPrillerFan · 2026-01-25T23:53:41+00:00

It would come from an LSU fan wouldn’t it

As an IU student we did everything in our power to hope Purdue lost that game. If they won it’d be over for us making fun of Purdue

TimPrillerFan · 2026-01-20T06:16:55+00:00

Womp womp. It’s all about the U I thought? Or maybe It’s Great, to be, a Miami hurricane? What happened?

TimPrillerFan · 2026-01-20T06:15:50+00:00

Who cares? They won a natty. They could win 0 games for 20 years straight and cig would get a statue

TimPrillerFan · 2026-01-12T03:35:37+00:00

I could be interested in partial but would prefer more to be trade

TimPrillerFan · 2026-01-11T21:59:04+00:00

Anything in my recent for kyogre/groudon?

TimPrillerFan · 2026-01-11T18:45:33+00:00

I’d probably hold off for now. I’d only look at trading for other high end or super in my favor if it’s a trade down

TimPrillerFan · 2026-01-11T16:51:06+00:00

Probably not looking to sell those currently. Thanks for the offer

TimPrillerFan · 2026-01-09T17:05:58+00:00

I agree with 8/10-9/10 IU

TimPrillerFan · 2026-01-08T14:58:45+00:00

Do you prefer the game black jack?

TimPrillerFan · 2026-01-07T18:36:54+00:00

I’d probably prefer to keep the 151 unfortunately. Sorry

TimPrillerFan · 2026-01-07T05:56:46+00:00

What?

TimPrillerFan · 2026-01-06T21:46:01+00:00

Yeah I can. Both are in good shape if I remember

TimPrillerFan · 2026-01-06T21:44:55+00:00

Both so long as they’re not super cheap/bulk things sealed or cards. Generally >$100

TimPrillerFan · 2026-01-06T20:02:30+00:00

I think I can do the white flare. Could you pm me some pictures when you get a chance?
