Kenan-Flagler(UNC) v. Kelley(Indiana) v. Fisher(Ohio State) for finance major

College Search & Selection

<p>I am considering all of these as possible choices to transfer to pending being accepted. I am a finance major. Kenan-Flagler seems to be most respected, but Kelley has a higher Finance ranking from USNWR. I do not want to go into I-Banking, but would like to work in NYC. What are some of the pros and cons of each program?
Also, I plan on getting my MBA eventually, so in the long run, is it going to make much of a difference which one I attend?</p>

No. MBA programs weigh GPA, GMAT scores and work experience more than the undergrad school reputation...and among the 3 schools you listed all are respected programs.</p>

<p>Normalguy, all are excellent programs...Kelley and Kenan-Flager have better reputations than Fisher. But honestly, it's not going to matter in the long run which one you decide on. I would choose the school that you like better for other factors, such as campus life, location, cost, and weather.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>I would give KF the edge in almost all areas.</p>

4

<p>I'd go to UNC, simply because it's the best overall school and the business program is well respected.</p>

<p>Thanks for the answers.</p>

6

<p>I would go to Indiana because Indiana is the best school in the world, and way better at everything.</p>

7

<p>I'd go to IU if you would like to work in the Midwest(Chicago) pre-MBA and UNC if you wanted to work in the Southeast(Charlotte if you are doing Finance) pre-MBA.</p>

<p>Post-MBA will depend on your MBA obviously.</p>

<p>So go where you want to live. But IU is a cooler school than OSU, and better IMO. So don't go to OSU. (unless you visit and prefer it, but not my cup of tea)</p>

<p>Why would you ever consider going to Ohio State if you got into those other schools?</p>

<p>ha. OSU is my backup. I already got accepted there. I will hear back from IU in about 1 week. If I get into IU I will not go to OSU. I am still debating whether or not to apply to UNC. Deadline is 3/1. I am strongly leaning towards IU right now though .</p>
