<p>I would consider Kelley closer to the business programs at USC, Notre Dame, Cornell, Emory, Washington or Georgetown than anything in the first post.</p>
<p>The thing about the first post is that you mention Kelley like it’s a side-note and then talk about what lesser programs are “known” for, when really Kelley is probably the most well-known of those business programs by a considerable margin. I remember seeing something written by someone doing business at Wisconsin talking about how hard it is to get a foot in the door at decent companies that would be coming to you if you got into a workshop at Indiana. Saying Vermont is “known” at all is an oxymoron, the only person I know who went to Tulane had a lower three-section SAT score than my math/reading composite, and a friend of mine here who’s paying out-of-state to escape Maryland would laugh at you if you called it a respected program.</p>
<p>EDIT: The list in the post above this one makes more sense than yours. Virginia and UNC are probably a bit better than Indiana, and Illinois and OSU are probably a little lesser, but the entire list is better, because the programs actually fit what jjk is looking for (competitive/large), include a couple top programs and a few that are each a couple steps down but have their strengths.</p>
