<p>Hey guys, I'm from TN, and I am valadating my options whether or not to attend. I have the choice to double major in accounting and finance at the University of Tennessee Knoxville "top 20 accounting school" or major in finance at IU. I will only have to pay around 10k for TN, but around 35k for Kelley "ouch." </p>

<p>My question is: How hard will it be to land a job at a Middle Market, whether it be Chi, Indy, or ny, pretty much anywhere... I probably won't get into IBW, so I pretty much don't care about Bulge Brackets. I just want to get into a nice MM, so how difficult would this be if I major in finance at IU? This is the determining factor...</p>

<p>i'm faced w/ the same situation. Did u get any scholarships from IU? I got 8,000 so it helped a lil. I live in WI so i can either go there or IU or Minnesota. But If i were you, I'd go to Tennessee tho. 4 yrs of college, you can save up to 100k. Or if you want, you can go to tennessee for 2 yrs and then transfer to IU.</p>

<p>This should tell you all about IU's grad statistics.</p>

<p>Most of the kids who get into IBanking come from the workshop. I would also like to clarify that just because a firm is MM/Boutique, it is not easier to get into. Competition is fierce. Kelley is a semi-target and the workshop is great. The market is not the best this year, and I know workshop kids who are having a hard time getting internships.</p>

<p>TN is not a target school, and you will severely restrict your chances for getting into fields like IBanking/Consulting. The quality of your school does not matter if you choose to pursue a career in auditing etc.</p>

<p>Is it worth the money? Depends on your plans. If you want to be a banker, then probably yes. I would also consider going to your state school, keeping a high GPA and then taking a transfer, therby still keeping a high chance of getting in the workshop. </p>

<p>It all depends on your priorities. For Ibanking, there are other state schools with better connections(UVA,UMich,UNC).</p>
