@bouders Congratulations! My DS25 will audition on Feb 6. What instrument is your son? IU has very excellent percussion instructors.
Son has 2 very viable options with nice merit at Belmont University and UNT. Im not sure IU will be able to compete financially. We are OOS.
Isnāt the deadline today for petition or was it 11:59 Jan 31st?
Sure, I understand. I mentioned āsafetyā in context of her other more selective options.
Itās all wide open right now. IB career path isnāt set in stone too, so she may chose something that offers broader flexibility, resources and career outcomes.
Most / all these schools place well - and one isnāt ālimitedā to a job in that major. You could be in Poli Sci and do marketing.
But if you seek a bullet proof outcome, then Supply Chain at Carey is a winner.
Iām sure costs and environment matter. You have all great names!! No bad choice !!
Thatās the hard part of so many acceptances.
Yeah, tell me about this āhard partā lolā¦
But I guess itās a good problem to be had, or may be not. DDs decision to make, Iām committed to support her with whatever she decides eventually.
I agree, picking what you feel is right for you is more important than a ranking/ābestā opinion.
A prestige name may help with the entry-level position, but that becomes less valuable as the opportunities to move up come along.
In the long-run, the school will be just another line on your resume, and the interviewer will be evaluating you on attitude, experience, and what you can do for them.
Most of the academic skills required to do well in business can be taught at any school, imoā¦.
Yes exactly! Fordhamās access, location and placement in nyc is amazing. So much to consider. We live in Boston so our daughter can always intern at home. Lots of good options. I went to Clemson and my parents were not in an urban area. I had four internships including one with GE finance and BoA my junior year with paid housing and ended up in investment banking. Anything can happen!
I think itās today. But for someone whoās not selected a Kelley major, not sure they can even submit a review request without first changing it.
Same here. We used to live nearby and can answer any questions if you want to dm. But itās definitely not for everyone.
Phewā¦
You can never go wrong with accounting, as long as there are businesses, they will need beancountersā¦
Personally, i never was interested in counting beans, it was where else that background could take meā¦.
All great points. Will share with DD.
I believe parents own experiences shape so much of how they end up guiding their kids.
Thankfully I have self-awareness of not being the right person for her chosen major/career-path. Iām more suited to guide Comp Sci majors, much to the chagrin of DD. Her mom too is of little use being an Architectā¦ lol.
Do you have any insights on GW business school?
Very confused if itās worth it in comparison to the other weāre discussing here. (assuming CoA isnāt a concern)
DD was excited at the idea of being in the heart of DC, and even though itās a great school, not sure if the business majors are all that great here.
Hereās the placement report. I set to school of business. But it looks like it unset. You can adjust under the word Employment.
Did she apply to AU too ? Not quite as much in the thick of things.
Better outcomes (on average - thereās always outliers) than others. Nope. More expensive. Yep. But in DC if thatās where you want to be. Yep. Is it solid - Iām sure as is AU.
Donāt forget, many do semesters in DCā¦mine did. Many schools have programs. Others partner with AU. So thatās another possibility although it might impact course flow.
No, she didnāt apply to AU. Already went overboard with about 12 colleges I thinkā¦ lol.
Already killing herself with her IB diploma essays and assessments, and these college essays have sucked the last drop of blood, so just barely surviving.
Thank you for sharing this report.
12 - thatās nothing. 
Mine did 15 and 21. Yep she did well yours !!!
Have fun choosing. If it helps and you get stuck, take one and match vs another.
So two head to head. If one wins, throw the other out. Now you have 11.
Versus all 12 at once which gets a bit of brain overload.
His feet, lol. Heās a ballet major.
Question - my student just logged into the IU portal to print out info for me and saw a āHutton Admissions Petitionā that wasnāt in there originally. Has anyone else received this? They didnāt apply for honors college initially so Iām wondering why this would have appeared.
We saw that too when I logged in late last night hoping against hope for the school to magically change from pre-business to Kelleyā¦ lolā¦
Two easy essays, DD submitted them this morning.
I believe the EA deadline to apply has passed, so now one can petition until March/April (not sure).
My D is DA to a program in CAS, applied for Hutton and hasnāt been notified yet.
The regular application date had passed, but they are opening petition process for admitted students.
