Gotta be a joke unless you misread Kelley(Indiana) as Kellog(Northwestern’s MBA). It’s Emory by a mile lol

 

Emory is in a different league from the others here. If you get in then go there

 

I have seen reasonably PE exits out of Emory as in  there are a few every year so its not really an anomaly and there is somewhat of a pipeline. That said it is definitely challenging

 

My guy I’m not sure what you’re on but Emory is the only very legit school on this list

 

The application cycle hasn't started yet. You would need to get into these schools first, and if you do Emory would be the better choice.
