Kelley or Mccombs?
Hi, I got into both Kelley and Mccombs. I have to register for classes by July, so which one is the better b school for IB/Consulting?

Equal B schools. It depends if you want to work in Texas or Chicago.
I'd pick McCombs hands down. Good representation from EBs and BBs across the board. Very hard to get MBB unless you're in the business honors program but tier 2 consulting is very possible from the regular business school.
At an EB i sit on the same row as a Kelley/McCombs graduate So safe to say both will get you there
you're at evercore
I go to Kelley and have friends at McCombs. Lots of people will go to the one that they get in-state tuition. Why pay $40k a year when you could pay $10k a year? Strong students can get great IB and consulting gigs at either school. I think McCombs has a slightly better reputation and easier to get IB and consulting, assuming that you're okay with with most opportunities being in Texas with some NYC. McCombs dominates Texas, while Kelley has a larger presence in Chicago and a slightly larger presence in NYC for IB.
Mccombs by far... people hype up Indiana way too much on this forum. Same with random banks like dyal and dbo or whatever. Shits weird
Kelley is overhyped by the Kelley trolls when they say it’s a target.
However, their employment reports are incredible. Starting salaries and employment rate are the same as top public schools. like UNC, UT.
I was shocked since it’s in the middle of nowhere.
I don't think aggregate starting salaries for a whole business school are real indicators of anything meaningful related to IB/Consulting.

@rbcnumberonefan is just a troll trying to be controversial. Just look at this fool's post history. He had to change his username because he got called out and is now scared
Kelley.
I have a cousin there doing economic consulting major. If you want consulting, economic consulting major at Kelley is probably one of the best in the country. Insanely high salaries and PWC/Deloitte/LEK/BCG/EY were all top ten employers of this majors.
Both schools are similar for finance.

Relatively though. Making 85,000-100,000 at 22 is considered pretty successful.
Lol, I go to Kelley. BCG and LEK take like 2-3 a year, extremely tough to get for most students. Big 4 consulting recruits here but you still need to be a strong student and do quite a bit of consulting prep.
Economic consulting only has like 80 students, so they will be top ten employers.
It’s on the salary statistics page for Kelley students.

Depends where you want to be after college. if you want Midwest or East coast I’d choose Kelley while if you want South I’d choose Mccombs. Both place very well in IB however and are top business schools
I work at a small boutique in the Chicago area and we recruit directly from IU. We have a shit load of Kelley analysts. I know many of our other competitors recruit at IU as well.
The UT McCombs school has a lot of respect too. I’ve heard they place great in Houston.
My opinion is choose where you see yourself going/succeeding and not based on what interns on WSO say.
All things being equal it's the same for finance and if you're looking to break into IB you should be just fine with either college however there are external factors to consider that are listed below.
Girls UT>IU
Gameday UT>IU
Alumni UT>IU
I’ll give you alumni and gameday, but not girls LMAOOO.
What do you mean, all we have here at IU are large corn-fed indiana girls.
Rich fuckers these days litterally putting enrollment deposits into multiple schools taking away spots from others and still can't get into anything better than a low semi-target.
McCombs
McCombs, not close
McCombs - got me an offer, didn’t it? lmao
