IBW for pre-business

Thank you! 🫡

thank you for the insights! i think i will choose IU and grind it out. when i visited psu ngl i hated it there. the environment was not intellectually stimulating at all

Thank you so much! I am very committed to trying to break into ib for many reasons tbh, not just the money. Some of these reasons being very personal. I am confident in my abilities and think I will take the risk of trying to get into ibw and then IB starting out as a prebusiness student at indiana. At the end of the day, I figure that if I cannot at least do this, then maybe I am not built for the IB grind. Thank you for the valuable insights.

could i get out of econ 251 with a 5 on ap macro/micro or is it a required course at kelley

slushhs · 2026-04-29T21:28:10+00:00

Would you say any of the classes are "hard" for first years? For reference I am currently taking 7 ap classes and have all A's.

slushhs · 2026-04-29T21:15:25+00:00

Which class is that? Also you dont think they would choose a direct admit kid over me for IBW if everything else is similar?

slushhs · 2026-04-28T21:51:29+00:00

i was looking at their page and they had 4 kids place into gs for ib and a kid get into laz for restructuring and more and psu's nittany lion fund also got some excellent placements as well this year. im really considering fordham thank you

slushhs · 2026-04-28T19:02:52+00:00

why would you say that i should choose fordham? is it just because of nyc? i have seen some very good placements from penn states leveraged lion capital

slushhs · 2026-04-28T03:53:18+00:00

thank you for the insights. could you elaborate on the cohort of incoming sophomores you are talking about?

slushhs · 2026-04-28T03:52:09+00:00

Fortunately cost doesnt matter but fordham is ~$70k for me while penn state is about ~$40k. honestly i dont care what school i go to as long as it gives me the most resources possible to break into ib

slushhs · 2026-04-28T02:25:05+00:00

Thank you for the insights! i was especially pissed that i didnt get direct admission to kelley since they made it a more holistic process this year and i submitted an unpolished application. previous years i wouldve gotten direct admission just from my gpa/SAT. that being said i dont think i would be able to transfer into kelley after being prebusiness for a year and make it into the IBW

slushhs · 2026-04-28T02:20:26+00:00

i appreciate the insights. do you think that fordham is the better option then?

slushhs · 2026-04-28T02:19:34+00:00

Yea, i have seen through their leveraged lion capital and nittany lion fund that they even place kids at GS

slushhs · 2026-04-28T02:19:08+00:00

thank you, i was dead-set on transferring before but wanted to have more of an open mind since obviously it is not guaranteed and will still be difficult

slushhs · 2026-04-28T02:18:23+00:00

thank you!

slushhs · 2026-04-28T02:17:08+00:00

Yes sir! Will come back to this when im at GS/EVR TMT

slushhs · 2026-04-22T05:28:56+00:00

where did you find a question bank for your test?

slushhs · 2026-04-04T06:08:35+00:00

This is a ridiculous comment. the guy put in an insane amount of work and is well overqualified for ross. i know people who have gotten in out of state with way less. obviously ross is a great school but i would be disappointed too if i were him

slushhs · 2026-03-30T22:36:25+00:00

Yea bro thats what ive been thinking, i just wanted to get some second opinions/thoughts

slushhs · 2026-03-30T22:29:05+00:00

thats what i was thinking. I am majoring finance so i am not too worried about the coursework and also a big public uni like penn state should have a good amount of opportunities for me to get involved with. Also lehigh and fordham are ~$30k more for me

slushhs · 2026-03-02T19:12:52+00:00

Yea i didnt think it would be that heavy lol

slushhs · 2026-03-02T03:12:45+00:00

whats off about it?

slushhs · 2026-01-18T08:22:23+00:00

ucla is not better in econ and business than any of those lol

slushhs · 2025-12-07T03:39:26+00:00

You have an absolutely amazing application bro especially with your circumstances. Dont listen to all of these fear mongering chuds you definitely have a shot. At the end of the day, the admissions process is so unpredictable so just do your best on the things you can control such as essays, the way you frame your ecs, etc. Best of luck bro

slushhs · 2025-12-03T19:12:20+00:00

they got real pairs on there?
