Kelley or Duke

Hello,
I am an international student who got into Duke Engineering Management program and Kelley MSIS (Information Systems) program. My long term goal is to do an MBA from a top 15 school and transition to management consulting. Immediate goals would be to join one of the Big 4 in IT consulting to leverage my current work experience in Enterprise Software. Now I am really confused between these two programs. Duke has solid international reputation , while Kelley is a top B School with a fantastic MS IS program. What do you guys suggest? I really appreciate your support.

Please find the links for both programs below.

As a IU grad, I know the MSIS program intimately. It places extremely well into Big 4 IT consulting. But that being said Duke is a much bigger brand. Personally, I would choose Duke.

Fellow IU grad - exact same thoughts.

IU can definitely get you into your IT consulting, but for the longer term goals having Duke on the resume can only help you.
