UT Austin vs SMU (Business Scholars Program) vs IU Kelley

Hello, I am a current senior going through the college process and I was wondering what university would best suit me for a career in IBD. So far, I have gotten into UT Austin Undergraduate Studies (non-McCombs), SMU Cox (Business Scholars), and IU Kelley. Would it be in my best interest to go to UT and try to internally transfer to McCombs, which from what I've seen has around a 50% admit rate for internal transfers, or should I focus on going to Cox or Kelley? I have been put under the impression that McCombs is better than Cox and Kelley, so this decision is quite challenging for me. I would love any feedback on my situation. Thanks.

 

Yeah I was doing some reasearch and it looks like completing calc I and II as well as macro and micro are requirements (along with getting at least a 3.9). Assuming I receive the credits for calc I, II, and macro/micro on my AP exams this year how difficult do you think it will be to transfer? My worry is that I may not be admitted into McCombs during my sophomore year and regret going to UT over Cox/Kelley. Thanks for the response.

 

Where do you want to work after graduation? McCombs and Cox obviously place better in Texas, while Kelley places mostly into Chicago and NY for IB
