Career Resources
1) Illinois, 2) Wisconsin, 3) Maryland, 4) Purdue, 5) Indiana
Correction: Swap #5 with #1
I am assuming their goal is IB/"high finance" (if not, I'd stick with @hightheta01" 's revised ranking). That being said, I would agree, except put Illinois ahead of Wisconsin. Their alumni base for IB is STRONG. I'm using all caps because I can't stress this enough. I'm talking Evercore, JPM, RBC, and others. Illinois places directly into startups, Google, MBB, etc. as well.
My ranking: 1) Indiana 2) Illinois 3) Wisconsin 4) Maryland 5) Purdue
Also ... tell them to try to get into Umich. Might be tough, but you never know.
Good luck.
Wow, you would take Wisconsin over Maryland and Illinois? Interesting choice, mind elaborating?

Illinois and Wisconsin last.
Purdue, IU, Maryland (CP) are all decent

If you can get into the IB program at Indiana, that's a great place to go.
Beyond that, UW Madison and UIUC are also great choices.
Purdue and Maryland aren't bad either.
If you go to Maryland, I'd urge you consider a double-major in CS or Engineering-- they're a stronger school for CS/Engineering than business IIRC, and you're going to be competing against a lot of east coast kids with Wharton and NYU on their resumes. As for Purdue, if Purdue is in-state, so is IU Kelley, and I'd rather send you to IU unless you're dead-set on engineering.
They're all great flagship state schools. You can't go wrong; try to find one that will give you a scholarship or reduced tuition (are any in-state?)
Some consideration should be given to a double-major in engineering or CS if you're comfortable with math. Engineering is where the state schools kick Ivy League butt and where you can get a degree that's competitive with Cornell or even Princeton for 1/4 the cost.
