[quote=Anonymous]Congratulations to your child for the full-ride offer from Pitt.  Two of my relatives studied/currently studying undergraduate business at Kelley.  Both were direct admits and have had multiple summer internship offers after junior year through campus recruitment.  Both majored in Finance.  More job offers may be in Midwest (Chicago), although students can get jobs on the East and west coasts also.  If your child is interested in Investment banking/management, then it is very important to be a member of those clubs, IB fraternity.  In fact, whether consulting or IB/IM, club membership and activities are very important at any business school, even at Wharton undergraduate business school.  While I don’t know about Pitt, another relative went to CMU.  So I know about life of a student outside of studies while living in Bloomington and Pittsburgh.  Bloomington is a college town and life revolves around campus activities and students supporting local businesses.  Whereas, Pittsburgh is a city with professional sports, concerts, museums. Public transport is free for students.  The area around CMU and Pittsburgh is safe and vibrant with restaurants and museums.  I strongly suggest you and your child visit both campuses and get an idea of life beyond studies.  Speak with campus recruitment employees and probe the results of recruitment in the industries and locations of interest to your child.  Make an informed choice. I would imagine there will be more business students at Kelley than at Pitt.  Your child will be a standout student at either school.  Best wishes.[/quote]
