For someone interested in finance/business?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Right now my top choices are:</p>

<p>Indiana (Kelley direct admit)
BU
Northeastern (15K yr scholarship)
Fordham (11k)</p>

<p>Also admitted to:
UC Davis
UCSB
Santa Clara (21k)
Bentley college (14k)
American University </p>

<p>Waitlisted at Wake Forest</p>

<p>Waiting for Michigan</p>

<p>I'm an Asian male from California. My most important factors are - quality of education/prestige of college, quality of people there (friendly/happy/etc), quality of sports/partying, and quality of future internships/jobs/recruiting.</p>

<p>Money is not really an issue.</p>

<p>Where would you pick and why? (Indiana's my top choice right now)</p>

<p>I see you're from NY. IMO, OOS tuition at the UCs isn't worth it given your other choices.</p>

<p>I'd choose Indiana. Top business program, gorgeous campus, fun environment (partying/sports).
If you get into UMich, the decision becomes harder, and likely comes down to cost.</p>

<p>I'm actually from California don't know why I had NY there but I'm actually leaning towards Indiana as well</p>

<p>Where would you like to settle and work after graduation? Any thoughts?</p>

5

<p>I want to work in either an investment bank or hedge fund. The location doesn't really matter, but if I could choose I would say NY or San Francisco or abroad (London, Paris, Madrid, or Shanghai)</p>

<p>From what I've heard, Kelley is not a strong target recruitment school for investment banks or hedge funds...It will be the best option from your choices though.</p>

<p>If you get into UMich Ross, that will be a better choice...despite the cost.</p>

7

<p>Unless you get into Michigan, IU-Kelley is the best option you have if you want to go into finance. If you did Kelley's I-banking workshop, you would at least have a chance to get into banking. None of the other schools are recruiting targets for investment banks.</p>

<p>Anybody else?</p>

<p>Reponse to UCBChemEGrad:
"From what I've heard, Kelley is not a strong target recruitment school for investment banks or hedge funds...It will be the best option from your choices though."</p>

<p>Your assessment of Kelley on this isn't accurate. Kelley has a Investment Banking workshop and seminar for undergrads. It's highly competitive to get into (60 students each year), and the job placement is 100% (starting salaries over $60,000; annual bonuses of over $60K). Most of the grads end up in NYC or San Francisco.</p>
