Introduction from Indianapolis

I'm a sophomore in high school (on the younger side, I know) and I'm strongly considering a career in IB. I have family and friends in the industry, and I'm currently in a position to gather as much information as possible in order to put myself at an advantage.

You stumbled on this site, and that's your biggest advantage. Enjoy HS, join clubs or play sports, get good grades, go to a target school (Kelley is actually a fantastic school), and then focus on IB when you hit college. You can obviously read heavily into it (I would recommend the site's reading list!), but at this point, there is nothing you can really do.

I think- therefore I fuck
 

@"worklikeamachine" is Kelley a target school? If so, would it be better to attend there for free rather than Wharton or Stearns? How do recruiters perceive it?
