Are Kelley & McCombs considered targets?
Just curious about the classification about specific b-schools. In this case are McCombs School of Business (Texas) and Kelley School of Business (Indiana) considered targets because I have been reading around and some consider them targets, others semi targets and even a few say they are less than semi targets. What are the real classifications for these schools?
Kelley > UT. Stronger placement from what I've seen
If Chicago/NYC is the goal, I agree.
If we're talking general placement, I'd say they're even. UT places great in Houston and Dallas.
Overall, I would call them both semi-targets. More specifically, it depends on whether you are talking about analyst placement out of undergrad or their MBA programs.
I do not know of anyone who works IBD/S&T/PE in NYC who got their MBA from UT but I have encountered people from Kelly. However, McCombs places very well in Houston and Dallas. It is similar to Emory's business school in that it is very strong regionally but has not quite cracked the bubble into top financial centers.
.
For NYC, McCombs probably isn't a "target" but I'm pretty sure they still place a few kids there
If you want to work in Texas, McCombs hands down trumps everything
not true.
if you want to do IBD in texas, mccombs is probably the best. for trading, especially commodity trading, it is not. i work for a huge physical shop and every single intern and new hire this year so far out of school has been from one single large state school that is not UT.
oklahoma fan spotted?
Doesn't Indiana have that IB workshop that has insane placements and solid connections?

Do you guys happen to know how each school fares in the West (mainly San Francisco IB and LA IB)?
I don't know any McCombs kids doing IB on the West Coast. Most end up in Houston and NYC (elite boutiques).
West coast i-bankers are from Stanford, Berkley, UCLA, and USC.
^Personally know a Kelley at GS TMT in SF and a guy at Qatalyst. Two last year got placed at Moelis LA.
Kelley > McCombs
If it means anything, I go to Texas and I have an internship at an AM firm this summer (sophomore year).
im amazed a lot of you are saying kelley over mccombs.. and this is for MBA or what?
UT crushes the energy scene for IBD and sends a good chunk of people each year to new york
sure, kelley has that 'awesome workshop' but what if you arent selected into the workshop? gggggggg
For undergrad :3
ask lbreitst about the workshops hes an IU ugrad and went to BP IST for internship. overall i know UT is known as a better school-- i think wishing and hoping for the workshop is good but i dont know if id say 'IU WITH this is better placement' when you dont know if youll get that
do you want to do energy finance or IBD in nyc?
it seems like it comes down to that question.. if you want energy you're probably best at UT, if you want IBD/nyc you're probably best at IU.
Isn't UT's Financial Analyst Program suppose to achieve the same thing as the IB workshop at IU?
