For undergraduate, my choices are Indiana University and Michigan state. I'm a Michigan resident so tuition there would be 20k where it would be 35k at Kelley. Neither of these schools are "target" schools, so should I save 60k over 4 years and go to MSU? I know Kelley is better, but is it 60k better?
Yes I am a Kelley direct admit.

I can't speak about MSU, but Kelley definitely has a presence on the street. If you want to do banking then take Kelley hands down.
Kelley has a better IB presence. Sparty is WAY more fun. You can still do very well at the top of the class at MSU.
WAY more fun? LOL.. what a naive comment.
MSU sends people to IB, and I am sure Kelley does as well. You just have to hustle, and get involved in the right organizations, etc.
Go to MSU, you will be closer to family and can use that additional $60K for personal development. Try and see what else is out there, focusing on "IB" freshmen year will just limit you to alot of learning/growing opportunities in different aspects of your life.
Kelley if you want IB or management consulting, and it isn't even close (not sure if I know anyone from MSU in BB or MM IB in Chicago or NYC, though obviously some exist). MSU if you want Supply Chain and/or Ops. Although IU has better OCR overall, if you want something like accounting, worth just staying at MSU.
