As one who usually favors UIUC, my answer to questions like yours is usually no. Cost is a real factor to consider and if you can get into IU Kelley, a fine program, and pay in state tuition, you should not choose instead paying a huge amount more just to attend UIUC. If you have very high GPA and test scores, you may consider just applying on the highly unlikely chance you will get enough scholarship funds offered to make UIUC a possible affortdable choice like UI, but absent that I would take UI if admitted.
