IU Kelley worth ~137k in student loans for high finance?
My goal is to work in a hedge fund but realize I’d probably have to go through IB or S&T first which I’m okay with. My question is, is direct admission to IU Kelley worth at most 137k in loans considering I’m confident and motivated to reach high finance? Other option is in state at University of Arizona with the Wall Street Scholars Program. Any advice would help as I have to commit in less that a week!! Thanks everyone
Arizona. Kelley is cooked if you don’t get into IBW.
I'm sure everyone can agree that Kelley is better than Arizona, but it's a marginal difference and 100% not worth the ~130K in debt, which will be more like 150+, accounting for accrued interest. It's an insanely huge gamble if you decide to go through to Kelley, but my advice would be if you are that motivated to spend your year at UA and transfer to something that blows even Kelley out of the water.
If you are interested in pursuing IB/PE UG Kelley does not have any pipeline of note. That being said, it is not worth going into that significant debt for. UA is not as good of a school as Kelley but at least you wouldnt be in such significant debt. I agree with the prior post, you should go to UA and get excellent grades. With that, you should use your freshmen second semester to prepare and ultimately apply to transfer. Just making wild generalizations from the limited amount you posted, I suggest something like UC Berkley, UCLA, UVA, UNC, or something similar.
All this being said, I think you need to be extremely realistic with your options as they actually are. It will be a huge accomplishment if you are able to break into top IB or PE in NYC from IU or UA.
In short, no/low debt load and transfer to a more established IB/PE feeder.
Good luck.
Kelley consistently places ~200+ students per classinto the combination of IB, S&T ,and buyside out of undergrad with most going to IB, and barely 5 to buyside but still some good pipelines. Not sure where you are getting your information.
this guy is waffling, "any pipeline of note" do u live under a rock? like a quarter of the guys at BBs in NYC/Chi went to Kelley
You could’ve just dmed me on your last post bro.
