Leeds vs IU Kelley IB Recruiting

Hey Everyone,

To preface - I’m currently an high school senior and have an interest to break into IB in my future. Currently, my two options for finance without counting waitlist schools are CU Boulder Leeds (in state), and IU Kelley (oos). My aspirations aside from finance include mathematics and am seeking a dual major in applied mathematics as well. Aside from CU Boulder being in state, would IU Kelley better position me for IB recruiting or transferring to a semi-target my sophomore year? I know the workshop is extremely hard to get into. How does the recruiting look like for east coast IB for the non-workshop kids? I’ve been seeking a lot of information regarding both schools on WSO, but have seen both sides to attending Kelley. What are your thoughts? Thanks.
