Kelley vs Tepper

Right now my top options are IU and cmu.

At IU I'm direct admit to both Kelly and Hutton honors college.

At cmu I was accepted to Tepper.

I'm leaning towards finance but am also open to entrepreneurship or management or a few other business majors.

I have no experience with any computer science or programming or anything so cmu worries me.

Money won't really factor in the decision.

I'm also waitlisted by UVA and NYU.

What do you guys think I should do?

I don't really care where I work as long as I have a good salary.

The experiences you will have at these two schools could not be more different. Indiana - heavy Greek life, heavy partying, heavy on sports (their football sucks but their tailgates are great!). CMU - smaller community, more 'geeky', more Thursday nights spent inside playing Settlers of Catan rather than hitting the bars. You should absolutely not discount which experience you will prefer in your decision, as how much you enjoy going to school will very likely impact your performance.
