Kelley School of Business or Wisconsin School of Business?
Hello, I am a senior in high school who just got his final college decision this week. For me, it has come down to Indiana University and Wisconsin-Madison. I got direct admission into Kelley for Indiana, while for Wisconsin, I got in as pre-business and would have to get into the BBA the first year. My question is, as someone who knows he wants to study business, is Wisconsin's overall reputation that much better, or should I choose to go to Kelley without fear of not having a spot?
Kelley 100%
Why 100%?
110% Kelley. Speaking from superdays / internship class most recently, I've seen a crazy number of Kelley kids getting insane placements in Chicago, NY, and Philly.
I don't know what their Business School is up to but I'd say they're by far the best in placement under the UVA / Ross / Cornell semi-targets.
Philly?
Philly isn't tiered the same as Chicago or NY, more just giving another city where I see a lot of Kelley kids end up. There's some good Public IB / Industry-specific groups there that are really good.
Am a sophomore at top LAC - hearing IU IBW is placing lights out this cycle, per friend
Everybody says this every year and the answer hasn't changed (at least for now).
IBW at Kelley is going to be the upper-echelon. You're also not guaranteed IBW, however.
Straight up b-school vs b-school, I'm still taking Madison.
Way funner campus too, on Wisconsin

Kelley and don’t look back. See way more Kelley grads on the street than Wisconsin (not to say Wisconsin isn’t a great school which it is). Kelley is far more renown and will provide you far more optionality.
While Kelly is definitely better, it’s not like it’s impossible to get an offer out of UW. Both are solid state schools and if you put in the time and effort, you’ll be able to get an offer out of either of them.
