However, go to Mcintire if you can get in, as it is a better business school.
I'm not sure why you are cherry-picking data, but the median starting salary for Kelley grads is $63,000 vs $64,000 to for UVA ($80,000 for their business school). I would also argue that starting salary (which is comparable) doesn't even begin to capture the higher brand value someone would have going to UVA vs IU. This isn't to say IU is a bad school, but it is disingenuous to say IU is better than a school it is obviously worse than, and you're going to end up fucking over some HS kid who doesn't know any better so that you can feel better about yourself.
