Kelley vs UMich-Ann Arbor for Investment Banking/Accounting

<p>I've been accepted to both schools. Money is not a problem for me. I want to do IB or accounting after college. I've heard that Kelley is very very hard on accounting students. I've also heard that the average GPA was a 2.7! Can anyone clarify this? I don't know if I can handle it since I'm just an average student. I'd like to maintain at least a 3.5 minimum.</p>

<p>Also, do a lot of Kelley undergrads get jobs in IB after college? Or is it just a small number of kids from the workshop?</p>

<p>Kelley is one of the greatest business schools in the world. I don’t mean to disrespect UM (it’s an amazing school as well), but Kelley is MUCH better and is very comparable to the best of the best (Wharton, ND, NW, MIT, etc.) while UM falls a tad short in this aspect. Also, I read somewhere that the average gpa is 3.37, not 2.7. Still not a 3.5, but you’re getting a much better education, and employers KNOW that. It’s really a big difference and I hope you come to IU!</p>

<p>Best wishes</p>

<p>The Kelley average gpa for graduating seniors is probably a little higher than 3.3. You can look at the “Average Student GPA” for each four-hundred level course (in other words, the last courses students will be taking prior to graduation) in the grade distribution reports and see that the average student gpa tends to be over 3.3 for every major. Here is Spring 2012 grade distribution report.
