Subject: Individual Program vs Overall University?
Anonymous wrote:If you were to chose a school, should you chose just the individual program ranking or the overall ranking for the school? For example, my S wants to major in business, and got into IU Kelley and Wisconsin. Kelley is ranked higher, but Wisconsin is overall considered a better school. Furthermore, my S has expressed interest in economics, which Wisconsin is better in, and in going to law school. I feel that Wisconsin having a better overall brand will be more valuable to him in the future and allow him to switch his interests. Is this right?
Picking the school on the course work , matriculating and what percentage of students in their chosen major get jobs upon graduation.
University of Indiana OOS is a stupid choice
At least WI draws companies from Chicago and NYC.
Either way for business OOS is dumb financially

No one is claiming that, PP. Only that both programs are solid and OP's child would be fine at either. Edge to Indiana for business, edge to Wisconsin for econ.
