Villanova vs IU Kelley?

Business major at Villanova vs IU Kelley. Tuition isn’t much of an issue. Villanova seems to be way more prestigious and selective but I don’t really hear anything about it here on WSO. Which would be the better choice?

Villanova is good and will offer you plenty of opportunities. Historically Kelley has placed significantly better as they’ve established a strong IB pipeline. Villanova as a whole is more prestigious than IU, but Kelley and Villanova is a bit of a toss up. If you can get into the IU Kelley workshops you will place better than you would at Villanova.
