IU Kelley vs university of Cincinnati

I am a senior starting colleague in fall. I have an option of spending 50K at IU Kelley (as out of state) or around 30K at U Cincinnati. Is Kelley undergrad worth if I don’t get into investment banking club? How good I will be if I don’t end up at IB club?

Please advise

Would easily go with Miami or OSU in-state than UC in-state or IU out of state. It's not even all that close.

"I don't know how to explain to you that you should care about other people."
 

Anyone can join the club freshman year, which gives you the basics. You can then apply to the Investment Banking Workshop as a sophomore.

I don’t know 

I am from ohio

i would do Indiana or Miami of Ohio. OSU does not have a good reputation. I can’t ever remeber interviewing a good candidate from there (even in tech) 

I think Miami even if not super strong academically does filter out a lot of the bros and mess ups. Most Miami kids are fine. A lot of the smart kids from my high school that didn’t get into ivies went there 

 

IU definitely. and prepare for the IB workshop thing is best advice i can give. 

 

I would start by knowing how to proofread and spell. College. You’re going to college. Also — I think you mean “advice” not “advise”. The top students at IU kelley are elite, but graduating IU kelley does not mean much. Actually an incredible amount of stupidity there. I would guess Miami would have the alumni network that cares the most about giving back to students at Farmer of the list you gave.
