Umiami Herbert vs Indiana Kelley vs Tulane

I’m currently a senior and considering between these 2 schools. I’m direct admit to both Kelley and Herbert, so wouldn’t have to worry about that. Also waiting on Wake Forest, UMich, and Vanderbilt. My stats are solid (3.9 GPA and 1540 SAT) so I thought this could potentially help give me an edge to getting into the Kelley IB Workshop. Was hoping to work in NY but would be open to other cities. I know Vanderbilt is a semi-target but have heard it’s improved drastically in recent years so was looking for some advice on where to choose if these 3 are my final option and/or I get into the 3 I’m waiting on.

Kelley. Vandy is good, placed very well at GS this year. Places well into nyc as well.

 

My worry with Kelley is it is such a massive school that unless I got into one of the really elite programs (like the IB workshop) it would be difficult to stand out.

 

U Miami, girls are way hotter. You get one college experience, don't spend it surrounded by fat 4's. U Miami is birdie central.
