Statistically it all doesn't make sense is all I am saying, and btw I;m right about Chicago

uhyea

i hope its not the peak for indiana, alot of the younger students at the bschool feel its still up and coming, but only time will tell

There career placement is impeccable. Career Placement was like 30% of the rankings I believe. There Reputation with employers is also good so.

I think Chicago has a couple of things going against it.

1) No many people apply to it because it isn't as famous as many of its peers.

2) Those who apply do not necessarily like it. That explains why its yield rate of 35% is one of the worst among top 25 universities.

If Chicago could attract 50% of those it accepted, its acceptance rate would drop to the high 20s.

Chicago's student body is still as strong as the other top colleges. 23% of Indiana's student body were top 10% in HS. To me, that shows quite different student bodies. Even if the Kelley students are much stronger than the general student body, I doubt that they are on par academically with Cornell AEM majors, Georgetown Business majors, etc. And it's not like Kelley is a selective school. I know someone who got into the program with several C's and a D on his transcript along with low SATs and no extracurriculars.

Also, someone from Indiana can you give me some insight on grading? If the Kelley students are taking classes like english and math with non-kelley students aren't their gpas going to be a lot higher. Would you say that a Kelly 3.7 GPA is comparable to a Cornell AEM 3.7 or a Georgetown 3.7 or a CMU Tepper 3.7? I'm just curious if the Kelley students get really high GPAs at Indiana because they are smarter than the general student body at Indiana.

Thank you, that is just what we are saying. Statistically they don't stack up.

It may not be selective, but their grads get good jobs, and thats what counts.

Notre Dame, Virginia > McCombs, Stern, Ross?

I don't like the accuracy of this.

What many of you don't realize is that althought top companiees come to indiana to recruit..they are not recruiting for top positions. You will see very few, if any, students from indiana in ib and sales and trading - rather they will be placed in back office operations. Just because a top firm comes to a school does not mean that they are taking kids for those coveted positions. It is a fact that there placement in ib is nowhere near the level of cornell aem and georgetown....the kdis in the bottom decile of my hs class went to kelley. It may have strong professors, but academically, the kids are not very bright and wall street knows that.

Farbdogg, are we talking about the program and how it is perceived by the corporate and academic world, or are we talking about statistics? If we are talking about the former, then Indiana/Kelley does very well. On the other hadm if we are talking about the latter, Indiana/Kelley leaves something to be desired.

mssales

It's fairly accurate, but you can debate 2-50 really easy.

I think McIntire is a worthy #2. But Notre Dame and Emory were a little high if you ask me.

ask anyone in wharton about indiana....or even berkeley which is ranked behind indiana...and.they will laugh in your face
