The first half of that sentence is incorrect -- overall Pitt and Indiana rank about the same. A few of the college rankings place Pitt a bit higher, a few place IU a bit higher, but in both cases the gap is pretty minor.


I think the academic credentials of the average Pitt student is better, but probably not in the business school. I agree, the schools are close enough academically that other things should be the deciding factor.


DD admitted to both. IU gave us $9000 in merit a year. Not sure which way to roll...


In this situation I'd definitely do Indiana.

On that ranking, Georgetown is lower in rank for business - 12 vs 8 (Kelley). Is Kelley that much better than Georgetown?

Pitt for god's sake no one should be sending a kid to Indiana for any univ right now.

Ugh

Pitt is better anyway even before all the crap coming from Repukes.


I'd send my kid to Indiana just to get him away from you Dobbs dorks.

My dc had to make the same choice. Ended up at IU and never regretted it. Opportunities were endless both in the Midwest and on the east coast.

Go to Pitt for free work for two years and go for MBA.

I went to Kelley before it was Kelly (stone age). I would choose the free ride at PITT

I believe IU's business school recruiting is significantly better. You're going to have to work really hard to get an i banking job from Pitt. All the big banks, consultants, etc. recruit at IU.
