After being wait listed at UMich, I’ve come down to choosing between Boston College’s Carroll School of Management and Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business. I have a few questions:


Which school do you think has the better business (specifically finance) program? Most rankings I’ve seen has BC higher up on the list, but it seems that in recent years, BC is becoming slightly less prominent of a business school, and IU seems to be up&coming. I was directly admitted into both of the business schools.
As a upper-middle class kid from a wealthy suburban neighborhood in New Jersey, who attended a catholic school freshman year, and left to go to public school for the rest of highschool, where do you think I would better fit in? My family is not super wealthy (recession hit us hard) and I am also not religious. The public school I go to is extremely diverse, and there are very few preppy kids in my school.


I just would like people’s opinion on this. I know both schools are great options, but I want to make the right decision seeing that I will be spending 4 years of my life there.
