<p>Indiana, hand down. Indiana has been a Top 10 undergrad business school for some time. Brandeis has a well-regarded graduate program, and if you want to pursue a 5-year BA/MBA, especially in international business, it might be a better choice, but considering what area you’re looking at, Indiana is the winner, especially if you’re full pay. If you need FA, things might change, but Indiana also offers some merit for good test scores.</p>
<p>What’s your GPA? Why are you considering these two? Are you in-state at Indiana? What’s your parents’ budget? Will you be needing need-based aid, merit aid?</p>
<p>brandeis does not have direct admit, if that makes a difference to you. does Indiana?</p>
<p>My GPA is 3.7 unweighted and i have a SAT score of 2140. Im considering these two for my safeties actually, and I need to pick one. I don’t need any financial aid though I will apply for merit aid. And I’m not in-state for either </p>
<p>The only problem with Indiana is that, I’ve heard its more of a graduate school, so undergrads don’t get enough importance. Anyone from Indiana to prove what I heard wrong?</p>
<p>Can’t you apply to both?</p>
<p>BTW, Brandeis wouldn’t be a safety but a match for your stats and due to their acceptance rate.
Indiana Kelley would be a direct admit but yes you’d be in large classes, etc.</p>
<p>Did I miss something – from what I see Heller at Brandeis only offers Masters and Phd degrees. Plus I don’t think Brandeis is an absolute safety. I’d go with Kelly . Kelly has the added benefit of rolling admissions so the OP should hear back pretty quickly. </p>
<p>Brandeis has an undergraduate business major.

<p>Indiana is always mentioned as one of the Top 10 undergrad business schools. Sure, they have a grad school, and grad students always get priority, but Indiana is one of the places that also has great opportunities for undergrads as well. I know several kids who go there and their parents all report they have numerous internships and great contacts in the business world. It’s tough to do better than summer internships at places like top accounting and consulting firms and corporations like P&G. It’s not Wharton, but it’s pretty good.</p>
<p>Indiana-Kelley. Not even close.</p>
<p>@whenhen …Thanks…live and learn</p>
<p>Thanks guys! But Indiana’s 72% acceptance rate is a slight put off. It just seems like almost anyone will get in</p>
<p>Though I do seem to like it better than Brandies, which seems probably too academic </p>
<p>I am not sure Kelly’s UG has 70% acceptance rate. </p>

<p>As long as they let you in, you really shouldn’t care about who else they let in. It is what it is and it’s well respected by just about everybody.</p>

<p>This is a mistake that kids make all the time. Just because BigStateU has a high overall admission rate doesn’t mean that the most renown programs/schools that BigStateU have an equally high admission rate. That said, Kelley is huge, so they do take in a lot of students. However, the opportunities that you’d have access to there (if you’re bright and work hard) could very well be better than the opportunities at a more selective school. If you think about it, it makes sense. Say that Company1 is looking to hire 5 kids per school they visit. They can visit StateSchoolA with 1000 students in their graduating class or SmallPrivateB with 100 students in a graduating class. They’d consider the top 20% (or 200) of A and top 50% (or 50) of more selective school B. At both schools, roughly 1/5th of the qualified students are interested in Company1’s industry, so 40 at A and 10 at B. At schoolA, they only have to recruit a small fraction of the qualified kids who may be interested in them. At School B, they’d have to pull in half of a much smaller pool.</p>
<p>yeah i actually agree with you.</p>
<p>Wow, those are some impressive rankings! Seems like a good choice. </p>
<p>“I am not sure Kelly’s UG has 70% acceptance rate”</p>
<p>I am sure that it does not. But even if it did, since it publishes minimums for the direct entry program, they are not going to get a lot of long-shot candidates. They’re quite transparent about what it takes to get in, so less qualified kids are less likely to even try.</p>
