I have been accepted to all four schools and I am a direct admit to Kelley, so no worries there. In terms of affordability, here’s the breakdown. My family could afford each school but for some, not without a little strain. Obviously money is a factor but the only school I would not be taking a 5k per year loan out for is Miami of Ohio. I have visited Clemson and am in love with it, and that’s the dream. I also really loved UMass and have not visited the other two schools yet (I am next month).
Any input about the different programs would be super helpful! What should I choose?

I would personally choose to attend IU Kelley for the exceptional business school or Clemson for the overall experience

Especially from Mass for a change of pace.

Also I think if you want to work in New England your resume will be a bit more unique. And if you like it in those other regions their alumni network is real.

Kelley is the only one that really has some recruiting from the Wall Street contingent if that’s your path.

My sister went to Indiana for undergrad and Miami for grad schooli. She loved Indiana, and never had anything good to say about Miami. I can’t comment on Clemson and UMASS.

Clemson University has a magnificent setting. If Clemson is your dream school, then that is the right decision (although you have no wrong decision).

The South is special. And if you feel that way too, then Clemson is an easy choice.

IU-Kelley would also be an outstanding choice. But, again, you have no wrong choice among your options in my opinion.

Where do you want to work after you graduate?

Obviously visit - and go with your gut.
But for business, hands down IU- Kelley Everyone I have meet enjoys the IU campus and Bloomington. It is a great setting for undergrad. Good luck and congrats.
