IU Kelley ($$) or Fordham Gabelli ($)?

While I'm still waiting on some of my high ranked colleges, I've been admitted to both IU Kelley and Fordham Gabelli. 

Kelley will cost me $50k per year and Fordham will cost me $30k per year. I won't have debt from either, but going to Fordham will leave me with a little bit of money still in my college fund, which I could use for an MBA or just put into savings. Which is the better choice if I hope to break into IB?

If you go to Kelley, you need to place into their IB workshop or other IB programs. If you don't, then Kelley is probably worse than Fordham. Fordham at least has a location advantage so it's better for in person networking. Both are non targets so there isn't a clear choice. I think it might be better to save the money and go to Fordham. I went to Fordham and got a IB SA while I was there but transferred to somewhere better. I networked a lot and overall happy with my time at Fordham. However, the majority of people from Fordham at BBs are diversity. I can DM you if you want to know anything specific.

 

can dm me any questions about fordham. also got an ib sa position through the school. you definitely have a location advantage and every year the amount of students going into IB are increasing. alumni are very receptive and are always willing to help.
