Harvard, No questions. Let's say at any point in time you decide finance is not for you, then you will have a top school that will be great for both recruiting into other fields and into future MBAs programs. Also a full ride is huge, even if money is no object. Our firm also has a few Harvard grads and they have really strong networks, if finance turns into a long term career, you will be able to leverage this network. 

Kelley has done an incredible job building their finance pipeline, but I would not put them as a guarantee for placement into finance. I am not sure how the Kelley places outside of the Finance, so that is something to keep in mind if you don't land somewhere. 

 

I think you should also factor quality of life into the decision. If you go to IU Kelley, you can absolutely still break into investment banking while getting a much more traditional college experience IU is a really well balanced school with social life and academics. Harvard obviously has incredible prestige, but you’re likely to sacrifice a lot of the social side of college and Boston may not offer the same experience you are looking for at that age. I’d think about the overall four year experience not just the name on the degree

 

As a member of ligma gamma beta tau (LGBT) and in the workshop, i can tell you right now IU is a much better choice
