<p>17 but close enough. Why not post you own credentials at the moment because come on its shouldn't be hard to argue with me, a silly little high school student who seems to feel he is a wall street veteran is it? </p>
<p>The very fact that you said a 4.0 at mich state or at PSU will most likely get them an ibanking job proves you have no idea what you talk about. Kids with 3.8s and 3.9s at ivies dont hold themselves better than there peers regarding ibank recruitment.</p>

I'll get back on this later. In any case, you sound like a prestige whore.

As for the prestige whore comment> You are Looking into ibanking? The most prestige whorish industry than exists in the US? Wasn't this obvious to you when looking at those recruiting tables at the different websites?</p>

The point wasn't whether wharton will give you "a leg up". It was whether or not you can get a really good i-banking job from a decent, in state school and yes you can.

<p>I said Penn not wharton first of all. And yes the question was whether its more advisable to major at Kelly or at Penn. Read the first post by the OP.</p>
<p>pimpthatthang, I have no idea who told you a 3.6 at the University of Michigan is easy or as you put it, a "walk through". Even if it were, a 3.6 GPA does not guarantee admission into Ross. 60%-70% of 3.6 students at University of Michigan successfully transfer into Ross.</p>
<p>160k for undergrad is chump change. there is an investment that nets more return than any wet-dream stock with nearly zero risk, its called education. going to a lower ranked b-school like kelley GREATLY diminsihes your chances at a top firm, as mahras said already. and thats a fact, jack. dont expect the same oprtunities at kelley and wharton. at kelley, youll proabbaly have a 1/20 chance of getting intoa top firm. at wharton, maybe 1/3. </p>
<p>collegehopefull, if you have the chance for a top program like wharton or nyu or most ivy's then take it by all means regardless of cost. ive been in that position before and ended up transferring, it was learning experience ill be happy to share.</p>
<p>from your name, i bet you attend USC.......
i just have a question. is there a big difference between USC marshall and Indiana Kelley for undergrad business?</p>
<p>ya a couple. one is called the Trojan Family. second is downtown los angeles. third would be the fact that according to wallstreet journal, top recruiters rate Marshall #10 in the nation. those, and the fact that USC is a much better school than Indiana, i wouldnt try to compare the two.</p>
<p>A liberal arts major at an Ivy or a prestige school always trumps a bachelors in business no matter where it is from. A business degree is a vocational degree, you get it aftyer your bachelor's. Your undergrad degree is forever, it should be in arts and/or sciences.</p>
<p>USC has many things going for it. you name it, we got it. high powered recruiting, great career resources, the social life, LA, whatever.</p>
<p>but one of our biggest strengths is also our biggest weakness: location. a USC degree goes far in so cal and maybe even san fran. it wouldnt be a good idea to come here b/c you want to work in new york. you could pull it off, but you might as well go to nyu, bu, bc, lac, or ivy instead. </p>
<p>LA is like a smaller, better looking, warmer version of NYC. NYC has nyu, bu, bc, the ivies, the lac's for its employment needs. LA and OC has USC, Haas, ucla. LA and OC especially are still developing and expanding, menaing we have plenty of oppurtunities for so cali's recent grads. youll notice LA and OC are USC Alum saturated. we want to stay here. same reason why stern's grads want to stay in new york.</p>
<p>coming here, you have just about every oppurtunity to work with whatever firm you want in whatever field you want. but your career may be locked down in LA, atleast for the first couple of yrs.</p>
