Well, since no one else has given you an answer, I’ll take a stab at it.

While Krannert is good, Kelley has the better national reputation and IU draws a lot of students from the east coast. If you were from Chicago or Indy, or if you are planning to move to the Midwest after school, it might not make a huge difference which school you go to. However, since you are from NJ, there is a good chance you might want to go back to the east coast. If so, Kelley’s reputation is likely to travel better.

That being said, direct admit is definitely worth something. If you haven’t already, you should study the IU forum for the threads about the difficulty in getting into Kelley after freshman year. If you are not a direct admit, you definitely need good grades. Only you know how good of a student you are. While there is not a universal answer to what grades you need, C’s are a definite no-no and how many B’s you can have (and in what subjects) appears to change based upon the applicant pool.
