Courses to take to get into the Investment Banking Workshop?

<p>Unfortunately the Intro to Investment Banking class, BUS-F 228 is already full. I would suggest just taking the run of the mill pre-reqs. You should take A100 first semester so you can take A201/A205 and/or A202/207 in the spring. I would also suggest K201/204 first semester so you have the option to take X201/X202 in the spring. I would also get finite M118/S118 out of the way first semester, you want McKinley as your professor. This way if you do not have calculus credit, you could take it in the spring. Perhaps you should also take micro first semester E201/S201 and then macro E202/S202 in the fall, if you do not have credit already.</p>

<p>F228 fills up extremely fast. I just finished up my freshman year at IU, and entered with 29 credits from AP exams. F228 was full once again when I registered for the spring semester (registration order is dictated by credit hours). Fortunately I was able to get into the class for Fall 2014. With that said the Investment Banking Workshop is something you apply for your true sophomore year. The Investment Management Workshop on the other hand accepts applications from freshman. I was fortunate enough to be accepted into that workshop for my sophomore year.</p>

<p>Taking honors courses are definitely a plus for your application. </p>

<p>To give you an idea of what I did to get in, in case you or anyone else is interested in the IMW, I am going to share some things that I did my freshman year: 29.5 credits(14.5cr./15cr.), 5 honors courses, 3.97 GPA, 2 leadership positions, club sport, peer tutor and some other random stuff. </p>
