An auto admit to IU Kelly is a 30 ACT or an SAT score of 1370. Cumulative GPA of 3.8

That will not get you admitted into UF..

Yes, UF business school has not the best reputation because of its reliance on online classes. I would go with Indiana, given it’s better reputation/ranking.

lol. So many trolls on these boards

Congrats on your kid being accepted to UF. That's quite an accomplishment.

C'mon now. Do you really have to ask?

Chomp Chomp

OP here. We are full pay. After receiving some merit from both IU & UF , the total OOS COA for IU is 15K/year more than UF. Does does change anything? Is IU worth the extra cost for their business school than UF?

UF has mostly online classes at least the first year, so you have to be aware of that.

See US News and World Report. Go Gators!

UF without a doubt. Go Gators!

IU! I was impressed with the kelley program. It is big but has a tight curriculum and seems very professionally managed. IU bloomington campus is very pretty and an hour from airport but shuttles run frequently. I know less about florida but heard florida has a lot of online classes, many kids at florida start summer before to get credits and to prep for fall rush. Great options, congrats!

Gator would kill Hoosier every time

Indiana is a red state though, and Florida cities blue.

Ignore this. Indiana and Florida are both red states, and both Bloomington and Gainesville are blue pockets within them (like most university towns, although the Bloomington area was a little bluer in the November election). If there's a difference, it's that Bloomington is an hour from Indianapolis, which is a blue midwestern city, whereas Gainesville is an hour from Jacksonville which, in addition to being smaller, is actually one of the few 'red' metro areas in the country. As they say, in Florida the further north you go, the further south you are.

And Bloomington is closer to Chicago than Gainesville is to Miami.

i have a kid at UF and a kid at UT honestly its merciful. These huge lectures are a complete waste to have to actually go to. Plus it has been a godsend as flu has ripped through the school this january.

I mean, why go to college at all, just stay at home.

People keep saying these type of things when others look South. College kids care so much less about politics than this board thinks. Some do of course but this aspect is overblown.

Indiana’s “city” is blue.

Who cares? Both are good schools and college kids will have good experiences at either.
