USC(Econ) vs IU Kelley

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hi all. I am an international student intend to study business.
I missed the priority date for Marshall, but I still applied and accepted for Econ/math major with an emphasis on pre-accounting(not sure what this means, though). If I go into USC, I am thinking about transferring into Marshall on my sophomore year.
But Kelley is also a terrific choice. I got a direct admit, but not sure what make Kelley definitely stands out.
I think both are quite expensive, although USC is +10k more expensive than that of Kelley's.</p>

<p>Any thoughts would be much appreciated!</p>

<p>Pre-accounting I believe is for someone who wants to become a CPA?</p>

I didn’t think that far, but I might dive into accounting as well.</p>

<p>If you’re thinking accounting/finance, go Kelley. Cheaper and on par with Marshall. Plus you’ve already been admitted.</p>

One of my concerns is this; as mentioned from other posts that I’ve seen, Kelley is eventually a part of IU Bloomington. Whether students belong to Kelley or IUB with whatwever stats, they would all get a degree under IUB regardless of a significant gap between Kelley and IUB. As an international student, I can’t ignore the fact that USC’s name might roll off better on many people’s tongue. I’m just really torn in between.</p>
