IU and Berkeley are two great schools, but they are incredibly different. Berkeley will be much more intense as everyone there is incredibly high-achieving (although, everyone at Hutton/Kelley will be too). Make sure to consider the type of environment you are searching for (more laid back at IU, much more hard core at Berkeley). Also, the cost difference is staggering (by this factor alone, I would recommend IU). It’s also important to consider that the program at Berkeley will be brand new. While I am sure that Haas has spent a very long time planning for this new program, there will be kinks that will need to be worked out. The offerings at Kelley have been improving and improving for years, and are top-notch. I recommend IU, but go where you feel that you will thrive personally and academically.
