<p>"both maryland and rutgers have upper division business schools. i think psu does also." </p>
<p>I don't think that playball will get into Maryland. UMD has a minimum SAT of 1300 for the business school. Playball, if you would want to go to UMD you should increase the SAT to a 1200 and then later transfer into the business school because it isn't all that hard. The thing about transfering into smith is that there is an advantage being in for 4 years over 2 years. When I visited one of the people who worked in recruiting said that it helps a lot. Some of the major programs in Smith are closed off to those who don't get in as freshmen. From what I have been able to tell PSU doesn't make it much harder to make it into smeal. I think with a slightly higher SAT you can get into for sure at PSU and rutgers. I would look at IU because it is a great school and if you don't get in direct admit you will get into IU itself and can transfer in but I still think you'll get into the business school.</p>
<p>"Indiana is 3rd (!) in sending graduates to ibanks. Only behind Wharton and NYU."</p>
<p>tripperian35, no offense, but false statements like the one above are exactly what we are trying to avoid on this forum.</p>
<p>I agree that Kelley is sending a good number of kids to investment banks, but that number doesn't make it the 3rd largest feeder. There was a thread here several months ago, where Calcruzer said what you said, and I corrected him numerically. He accepted my correction and I believe he was just trying to say Kelley is doing a great job, which I agree. You need to get out of the bubble, if you seriously believe that no school sends more kids to investment banks than Kelley other than harvard and NYU. The statement "IU is one of the best schools for people who want to work for investment banks" is absolutely OK, but the one I quoted at the top is just horrible. ;)</p>
<p>yes untitled has stated very well the truth about indiana for ibanking, its still just started its strong placement so we still need to see how well it ends up, but if ibanking isnt your thing they have great recruiting by the big 4, fortune 500, mc recruiting is very good deloitte consulting is one of their biggest recruiters and its gonna get better as well because they are starting a workshop like the investment banking workshop to be successfull in placing in the big mc firms, bain, bcg, mckinnsey, deloitte and so forth.....the only thing about IU is that yes it gets recruited well, but its a place where you need to do descently well to very well (3.4-4) to get recruited by the coveted companies, depending on each industries selectivity. If your not in that realm your going to be stuck at a regional firm or a descent corporation. Yes it is ranked very high (top 10) but if you compare to a few great schools ranked below it, cornell for example if you compare a student at the top of the class at kelley w/ a top student at cornell they would be comparable, but an average joe at cornell would be at a much better advantage then an average joe kelley student because they have the closeness to NY and the ivy league name, also the average joe may be smarter at cornell than at kelley because face it, to get into cornell you need to be very high up there in hs, where as at IU you dont, so most likeley if your just average in college at kelley you were low to average in hs, but at cornell everyones pretty bright. IU is a great place if you will be one of the better students at kelley, but if you plan on coasting you may not reach the pinnacle that you hope for</p>

<p>Ok whatever, but its still a super good school recruiting wise.</p>
<p>Just want to say that tripperian35's post above is correct. I was going off faulty data supplied by people I worked with that had gone to Indiana. </p>
<p>Indiana does have a great investment banking seminar program and places about 50 people annually out of this program into I banking, but the numbers say that NYU, Harvard, Penn, Michigan, and Virginia (and probably others such as Dartmouth, Yale, Carnegie-Mellon, UC Berkeley, USC and MIT--and possibly others) may also place more (or as many graduates into I-banking).</p>
<p>I'm not trying to dismiss Indiana's program (obviously, I think it's a great one or I wouldn't have my son going there this year)--but I do want to give the correct statistics.</p>
