PSA: IU Kelley for High School Prospects/Transfer Students
This is a quick PSA for any high school/transfer prospects looking at universities. Please take anything you read on this site about IU Kelley with a grain of salt. The amount of misinformation spread on WSO by insecure kids from this school can sometimes make them seem that they are comparable to a lot of better schools-- let's be blatantly honest here, they are not.
Kelley kids will spout off about their placements, which definitely beat out a lot of non-target schools, but they are at best a fringe semi-target. If your test scores/grades don't cut it for real targets, then it's an amazing option to try and break in-- but it's not comparable to any Ivy/Duke/MIT/Stanford/UChicago/Stern/Gtown/Notre Dame/Northwestern/Top LAC/Top Publics
"Oh, but every school has insecure shills on this site."
Yes, they do, but not anywhere near at Kelley's scale. Removing private schools from the equation (most of which are dwarfed by Kelley even if you took the entire undergrad enrollment), let's compare IU Kelley enrollment with top public business schools.
Kelley: 7500 (Bloomington)
Ross: 1400
Haas: 720
McIntire: 700
With a little less than 3x the number of students if you took the combined number from Ross/Hass/McIntire, it becomes very clear that Kelley kids are most likely rife throughout WSO.
This was intended as a shitpost, but it's actually mind boggling to see how much IU Kelley kids have twisted minds on this site. Honestly, how you go sleep at night telling some kid to choose IU Kelley Econ over UVA Econ?
Also, I am very prepared for all the IU Kelley MS. If you're actually a sensible person that wants to help spread correct info on this site, a SB for visibility would be much appreciated.
This is a throwaway, so I'm not affected either way
OP is concerned about the spread of misinformation on WSO...
OP admits his post was intended to be a shitpost...
OP cowardly posts from a throwaway account so he doesn't get his feelings hurt and e-stats tainted with MS...
OP expects readers to take him seriously...
Did you go to Kelley or something? I always browse these threads because I find the petty arguments amusing, and I feel like you are typically one of the first commenters trashing the OP and defending Kelley.
While I was also surprised by the support for Kelley on that post, I think you're being a little misleading leaving out that the poster was a student at Kelley and was considering transferring to UVA Econ, which I think could or could not be worth the marginal improvement in switching schools. I've seen that Indiana definitely has one of most widest ranges for schools on this site. Half the time, it's compared to McCombs and UVA and half the time, it's compared to schools that barely have any high finance OCR like Michigan St. and Iowa.
Mccombs and Kelley are basically the same. Honestly, Indiana might be better because they do just as good in employment as McCombs, while being in the middle of nowhere and having 6000 undergrad business students.
UVA Mcintire is on a different tier than either school.
Bro you sound more insecure than any of the kelley kids.
First of all, nobody has ever said Kelley competes with ivy's or Duke or Ross.
And if you did any research, you would see that over a 100 kids a year are going into FO IB, so it's not a "select few". There are like 900 finance majors and probably a quarter of those kids are gunning for IB, so you do the math. Also, there are four workshops that give you a path to high finance, not just IBW.
Personally, I went to Ross and have many friends at Kelley and can confirm that IU Kelley is just a tier below our school. Why do u think they have such good employment reports?
