I would say Kelley > Tulane any day. Kelley is a target for several Chicago based banks and has a strong alumni base. Also, Kelley has a great program in terms of externships, shadowing programs, and their student investment fund. If the money works out, I think Kelley is the easy choice. Good luck on your decision!
Thanks so much! Do you have any thoughts on Kelley’s placement for NYC jobs? Also would it be worth it to work to transfer out after my freshman year and go to a higher-ranked target?
From what I have seen from friends, Tulane doesn't open doors but it also doesn't close them. A quick linkedin search shows a scattering of BBs/EBs. I would say Kelley if you get into their IB workshop>Tulane. But Tulane>Kelley in general.
you gotta also look at the undergrad size though. If Tulane has fewer opportunities but at a higher level per student then it isn't as easy as saying IU has more people on the street.
IU students outside of the IBW get plenty of job offers at investment banks. From peers, IU is recruited for every bank on the street. Not even a question IU Kelley>Tulane. In my professional experience, I’ve seen plenty of IU alum in ibanking, private equity, private credit, and hedge funds, but have yet to see one from Tulane. Definitely one of the top business schools in the country, but a notch below Michigan and UVA

Thanks for this. Do you happen to know how competitive the workshop is?
Have a good buddy at Tulane that is interviewing for M&A and he feels that the classes there have prepared him well.
Kelley has an alumni base on Wall Street at least 3x that of Tulane. Should be an easy call.

Are these for Chicago offices? Any insight into how IU places into BB/MM for NYC? Thanks everyone!
Pretty well into BBs and MMs in NYC.
Those banks are mostly recruiting for NY but there are some opportunities available in Chicago as well
Go where you will enjoy the next 4 years of your life. Neither school will close any doors for you.
This advice never gets its due. School choice matters, but the key ingredient for where you place out of college is still you.
