Hey guys,

This year's admission cycle has been total wack and I have been waitlisted at most of my top choices. So far, I've got IU Kelley w/ honors, Case Western Reserve, and William and Mary for spring semester. I do not intend to stay at any of these institutions because I know I could do better (messed up my freshman year of HS, wrote some wack essays, and this weird admission cycle).
I know IU Kelley is technically the best out of those three for business/finance, but it's parent institution is ranked quite terribly so I think transferring will be more difficult. Comparatively Case Western is ranked quite high and is a really good STEM school, and I heard a lot of kids transfer to Michigan from Case every year. W&M on the other hand is kind of in between, its got an accounting focused business school and also highly ranked so transferring from W&M will also probably be good, but then I'll have to wait until my sophomore year to transfer since I don't join the class til spring semester of my freshmen year.
I want to try to do a sophomore transfer to a target Top 30 (Michigan, GTown, Ivies, etc.) which school would be best for me to attend freshman year?There appears to be a disconnect There appears to be a disconnect There appears to be a disconnect

 

I’m a prospect so take what I say with a grain of salt. Apparently like a year ago there was a group of people spamming posts on WSO from dozens of accounts promoting IU which is partly why there’s so much buzz about it. (Search for “Why IU Kelley is a top target” to see what I’m talking about)

I’d just pick whichever school you like most and will give you the most freedom if you change your mind. Sounds like for you, that isn’t IU.
