Indiana University (Kelley) vs. McGill University (Desautels)

I have been accepted to the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University as well as the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University. At Indiana University I have been accepted into the honors college. I am looking to major in Finance and go into investment banking. Which school would give me a better shot at working on Wall Street? Kelley has the investment banking workshop, but at the same time McGill is a more prestigious university. Also, which school would give me a better shot at landing an investment banking job whether it be on Wall Street or Bay Street?

I would pick Indiana if you'd like to work in the US. It's considered a regional semi-target. If you want to stay in Canada go to McGill.

 

Desautels/McGill is overrated by people outside of Canada. Most of Bay Street are Ivey and Queens undergrads and anecdotally I would say there are more Schulich, Rotman and WLU people than McGill.
