Indiana Vs Wisconsin for Business

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hi there,</p>

<p>I am accepted for Indiana and Wisconsin as a transfer, and I want to major in Business Marketing</p>

<p>However for both schools I have to stay in the general college for at least 1 semester before applying for the bschool.</p>

<p>Which one should I go? WHich has a better program and career prospect?</p>

<p>For Indiana:
- Bschool is more well-known in US but the university is less popular in HK & US
- possibly more employment and internship opportunities
- probably easier to get in BSchool (I heard that having 3.0 is a no-risk application)</p>

<p>For Wisconsin:
- The University itself is more well-known in US and my country (HK), but BSchool is not
- I guess Indiana has more connection with jobs and internships
- harder to get into BSchool (average GPA is 3.4-3.5, and I heard UWis is a difficult school, so I will be screwed if I can't get in)</p>

<p>Any comments is appreciated.</p>

<p>For marketing UW is better. Placement is very close to even overall. Nearly the same average salalry, etc.</p>

3

<p>Indiana- stronger overall B-school rep and the slight difference in rank of marketing program won't matter.</p>

<p>The diff is tiny.</p>

<p>Thanks guys.</p>

<p>My first concern is that I heard a lot of good comments about Indiana, But Wisconsin seems to be more well-known in US and esp internationally. I think in HK, my home country, Wisconsin is more recognized (probably because of the higher national ranking for the University in general and more HK students go there)</p>

<p>Another concern is that if I can get into the BSchool after I transfer. Though I am having a 4.0 (at a community college), but 3.4 - 3.5 at UWisconsin is not easy. </p>

<p>And it seems like I like Indiana better because I contacted the school and the people there seem really friendly.</p>
