OSU Fisher vs. Kelley for Finance for undergrad

Hi all,


Just got word I was accepted into Fisher at OSU and got into Kelley w/ scholarship a few months back. I know Kelley has a 40% acceptance rate and Fisher is 14%, is Fisher that prestigious? I've planned to enroll at Kelley but didn't think I'd get into Fisher. Which is better for a financial field?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.


Edit: not 14% accept., same as Kelley

I am a Fisher alum and our acceptance rate is not 14% I believe our admission stats are nearly identical to Kelley's at 38 or 39% last year. For banking specifically Kelley is going to be easier overall assuming you get into the IBW. If cost and/or fit is a significant factor then I would heavily consider Fisher as well. A lot of my peers ended up at great shops and took Fisher over Kelley. Both schools can get you to banking. Kelley will be a bit easier though, again assuming IBW.
