IU Kelley or UCSD Econ in-state?

Hi, I am committed to IU Kelley as a DA with the intention of going into finance. I want to study hard and get into the IBW, and if not that, the IMW. However, I just got into UCSD as an in-state student, which would be 10k/year cheaper. Should I stay committed to IU? I also want to work in the west coast after graduation. I heard UCSD is STEM-focused and placement for finance is non-existent. Thanks!

Not sure, I'm not too familiar with the schools. Kelley has a better IB program but UCSD might be better if you want to live on the West Coast.
