How much is IU-Kelley worth?

<p>Hello, I'm an intl student, so if i decide to attend Kelley as a direct admit, i will probably chalk up at least 150k of debt in tuition alone. This is fine by me if i am able to (ideally) secure a job in the US upon graduation. Given the current state of the economy and such, it may be quite a long shot.</p>

<p>Simply put, Would a bschool education at Kelley be worth this 150k opposed to studying at a local (Singapore) bschool which would cost about 50k? Probably an intangible qn but, How much is Kelley "worth"?</p>

<p>Any input would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Certainly not 150k in debt.</p>

3

<p>150k debt
absolutely not</p>

<p>I agree, Kelly is not worth $100K more.</p>

<p>That won’t be easy. Do you have a green card ? Are you a Canadian or Australian citizen?</p>

<p>

Who’s gonna give you 150k in loans? Are Indiana and Singapore your only two choices ? Is there another cheaper college in US ?</p>

<p>That’ s a lot oof money. I’m curious too as to where you are getting the loans, and no, a degree from IU Kelley isn’t likely to net a job, on average, to repay that kind of loan quickly. If you picked a subject where you can get a good paying job, it could pay off in about 20 or so years in picking of that loan, but then you’d probably have similar prospects with such a degree from anywhere without having that loan gorilla on your back. No, it’s not worth it. If your parents have the money and can afford to give to you as a gift, wonderful. Borrowing it? No.</p>

<p>It will be sponsored by my parents, however i don’t feel good spending all that money unless i can safely say that i can secure a job in the states. </p>

<p>With the Kelley IB workshop, will it be possible? </p>

<p>It is not uncommon to be spending that kind of money as an intl student, this amount would be comparable to studying in say, australia, however i get the impression that it is not going to be worth all the money - esp if it’s not an ivy league, hence my chances of a job after graduation will be decreased, coupled with the fact that i am not a US citizen. </p>

<p>I would like to move to the US in the future. Would this be possible if i did not attend university in the US? How about a master’s program in the US after my UG locally?</p>

<p>one more thing, do any of you guys know about the chances of transferring internationally to a US uni?</p>

<p>Transfering is harder, but doable.</p>

<p>Also, 150k in debt is not worth it. Rank matters a lot for business schools. The top companies (MBB, GS, Sequoia, etc) will only recruit from the top business schools.</p>

<p>when you guys mentioned top business schools, you mean wharton, harvard etc, essentially top FIVE business schools? Therefore kelley as a #13 has not much influence?</p>
