Gies vs Kelley

Based on the most helpful WSO content, Kelley School of Business at Indiana University is often regarded as a stronger choice for landing internships and jobs, particularly in investment banking and other competitive fields. Kelley's Investment Banking Workshop is a standout program, and the school is ranked as the #13 feeder into Wall Street jobs in the U.S., and #3 among public universities, according to Bloomberg Businessweek. This makes Kelley highly competitive but also provides significant opportunities for driven students.

While Gies is a solid business school, Kelley’s reputation, alumni network, and placement in top firms give it an edge, especially if you're aiming for roles in investment banking or private equity. However, the competitiveness at Kelley means you’ll need to excel academically and actively participate in programs like the IB Workshop to maximize your chances.
