College Decision Advise

Hey! I am an international student. My target is to join a good investment banking firm after undergrad. Currently, I have been admitted to Kelley Business School, Colgate University and UT Austin(not McCombs). I have been waitlisted at UVirginia and Emory. Waiting for UMichigan(not Ross), UNC(they dont give direct admit). US News has actually ranked Kelley over Emory,CMU etc. So should i enroll to these public universities and take the risk or just enroll at Kelley?
It is very tough getting into the IBW. So I don't think so I should take that into account. Any suggestions?How tough is it to make it into the top IB firms for a Kelley grad without the IBW?
Thanks a ton!

 

I'm in a similar situation. I will probably be going to UVA but if I didnt get in I would go to Indiana Kelley. After visiting for a DA day, I really got the feeling that they know what they are doing. If you do go, get a gpa of 3.7+ and apply to the investment banking workshop during your sophmore year. If you get in, it's very propable that you will land a good internship/job.
