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?

 

Kelley has an alumni base on Wall Street at least 3x that of Tulane. Should be an easy call.

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
