Indiana Investment banking workshop chances

Hello Wall Street oasis, I have a question about Indiana. So I was recently accepted there but I am not a direct admit and I have a question about a few different things. Well first off I am confident I can get the gpa requirements but when is the timeline of getting into the ibw compared to getting into Kelley. To be frank I didn’t get into any of my target schools so Indiana is my best bet for my dream of investment banking. So can I still get into ibw if I am not a direct admit. Also say I don’t ever get into the ibw? Is all hope lost or could I still get into some botiques in Chicago. For me I don’t view bb as the be all end all. Any investment bank I can get into I will be grateful! Thanks so much in advance. Your advice will be appreciated!

You can still get in. But you're going to need to crush it during your freshman year, which is hard at a party school like Indiana. Remember, there's no party or hookup that's so good that it's worth throwing away your grades. You need to be top 1% of your class, work harder than you've worked in your life.

It's possible and you have a way forward, but you cannot get distracted. Your way is harder than other people's. One fuck up your freshman year and you've fucked your entire life. Think about that.

 
"lapike" Remember, there's no party or hookup that's so good that it's worth throwing away your grades.

BEAT IT, NERD.
