Why IU Kelley Is A Target School
-180 kids do IB. Around 120 will be FO, while the rest are MO and BO. IBW and CMBW workshops are a straight pipeline to FO banking and it is doable to get into at least the CMBW with a 3.6+.
-Consulting is the most common job for Kelley graduates (hundreds of kids). These are mostly big 4 and boutique consulting forms, as MBB only takes 5 kids a year.
-Around 80+ kids are in asset management (position, not industry). The kids in the Invesment Management Workshop go straight to big hedge funds and big time ER, while the kids who aren't in IMW will still have nice ER and investment/wealth management jobs.
-Kelley Finance graduates last year made an average salary of $68,500. Let's Compare this to other Target Schools. Mccombs ($70,000), Ross ($72,000), and Haas ($75,000). Kelley is just right behind even though these schools place into NY and SF (High COL cities) way more than Kelley.
Think about this Harvard kids with a 3.5+ will get into top investment banks and consulting firms. Kelley kids need a 3.7+ to get into the top firms. Obviously, Kelley is no where near Harvard, but it's not too far behind some major target schools.
Lol
Jesus Christ stfu all these posts just makes your school look like shit as if everyone there is insecure. Just get your bread and move on God damn
Sure IU is a target school for a number of banks but it is not prestigious. Hoosier daddy?? Certainly not HYPS or MIT or UChi or Duke or Wharton or...
Definitely agree it's not close to as prestigious as those other schools, but the numbers do not lie about Kelley. It's super close to Ross and Haas, but obviously it's nowhere near the schools you named
What do you mean by "it's not too far behind some major schools?" Sure if my only other choice is ball fucking state university I'll go to IU, but I'm not gonna pick it over UVA/UNC/UT/Mich/Berkeley, much less Ivies, Stanford, Duke. Credit to IU for developing at least somewhat of a pipeline to finance from middle of nowhere Indiana, but people don't choose colleges just to maximize their first job right out of college. The brand sticks with you for your life, and no offense, UVA, Michigan and the rest are way better for that. IU is arguably the best safety school you can find if you strike out everywhere else but know you want to do finance. Don't make it any bigger than that. For Christ's sake the school has a 70% acceptance rate. What other school you're comparing it to has that?
I picked IU over Wharton. Haven’t regretted it once!
IU is the RBC of colleges
Yeah cause all u kids care about prestige.
Refute my facts kid
Who do you think you are to go around calling everyone else a kid? You're a 19 year old prospect at one of the worst semi-targets across the nation who is shitting on anyone who disagrees with him.
Dude you messed your numbers up lol. As per YOUR OWN REPORT, there were 1,394 active job seekers at Kelley, and 8% of them worked in IB. At the very most, (not accounting for the ambiguous figures the report listed to not have found employment) that's 112 students. And nowhere does it mention how many were FO or BO – you must have invented that figure yourself (but my experience tells me that the ratio of BO to FO is much higher at Kelley than at top targets). How can we trust the Kelley boaster to convince us to attend his alma matter when he can't even perform basic arithmetic or research?
have never seen more insecure shit in my life.. no one thinks of Indiana University as a good school regardless of whether banks hire them just because they can do some accounting and valuation technical questions
You are an embarrassment to Kelley as far as I'm concerned. And if you are going to make a post like this, making it anonymously is a chickenshit way to do it.
