IBW has better placement than any semi-target (NYU, UVA, Rice, Vandy, Northwestern), everyone who gets in the workshop gets a guaranteed EB/BB IBD or MMPE+ offer. fight me but I'd rather go IU IBW than harvard tbh. and we had mendoza. go hoosiers

Mendoza's degree is from Haas btw
25 IU would steamroll your favorite team
what happened to all the other seasons?
don't matter best CFB team of all time
You’ll be collecting social security by the time that happens again
My 2001 Hurricanes would walk the '25 IU team like a dog.
I mean the biggest risk is not getting into IBW. It's literally workshop or bust.
you're a squid if you can't get in. i'm going to a top EB group for my sophomore -> junior summer (think PJT RSSG, GS TMT, Delmorgan & Co)
^^^^ they're letting in 100 kids now + tons of kids still place without the IBW (no not as good placements but still)
Pointless semantics
It doesn't matter. Go to Harvard. Go to Indiana. Fake your degree like Mike Ross. Everyone who's done it knows at the end of the day: investment banking fucking sucks.
thats why I'm going to the buyside for my junior year (think Elliott, Pershing Square, Jefferies HR)
Congrats on Pershing Square
Excellent ragebait your honor
Hoo Hoo Hoo.. are you?
IBW actually stands for: Indiana Better than Wharton
