Sick of IU Kelly students and Alum trying to make it a target school

I know this has been said before, but I just need to rant about how fucking annoying the IU Kelly people are on this website. They will literally say IU is better than almost any other school barring HYPSM. Your 35% acceptance rate is not good, half the kids in IB workshop go to no name IB boutiques, and you have so many kids in the B-school, so of course some kids will go to good shops.

I feel like there needs to be a disclaimer on this website not to take anyone seriously who promotes IU over any actual target schools.

Yeah, it's really annoying. I think most of the people saying IU is better than Harvard and Princeton and Wharton are just a bunch of trolls, so don't take it too seriously lol.

But, I have to disagree with your IBW statement. If you look up the placements last year, 6 kids went to Moelis, 6 kids went to William Blair, they'll have a few GS, MS, JP placements and a lot went to Greenhill (not no-name, but yeah it's not as prestigious as others I named).

From what I've seen, Kelley is what you make of it. If you get a 3.7+ or are in a workshop, then you'll have a great job out of UG. Anything less than a 3.5 would get you the same as a regular state school would.

 

Isn’t there 2000 kids per class? And an average SAT of almost 1440 for the incoming class. That competition must be fierce. No doubt it’s a good business school with alums on the street, but with 2000 high-scoring students, the odds for the average Kelley student do not seem good.
