Calling all Kelley (Indiana) 2013 Applicants!

Admittedly, I'm biased as I will probably matriculate at Kelley (choosing btw them and Ross), but I have not heard a lot of positive things about USC Marshall lately. Their employment-placement prospects seem not great, especially when considering the geographic limitation of jobs in and around Cal / SoCal -- which in itself is not a bad thing at all, but given the cost of living out there, I would be worried about making ends meet on a $90k salary assuming the debt and opportunity cost. Kelley is also somewhat regional -- I think most schools outside the top 5 or 7 sorta are -- but if you're okay with, say, sticking around the Midwest, then Kelley's (already decent) post-grad salary prospects will get you further I would imagine. Their *placement* stats -- i.e., % offered or accepting positions within 3 months of graduation -- have also not been good the past couple of years. I've also heard mixed things about USC's teaching quality and administration. Search around the GMATClub forums for more sentiments, but to me, Kelley should be the way you go

Anyway, looking forward to meeting you (hopefully) next weekend. Curious, but what's your background?

International student here, submitted & interviewed already.

Awesome congrats! How did the interview go?

Good luck to everyone applying. I didn't apply, but was able to attend a recruiting event last year, which was a lot of fun. The Kelley folks were extremely gracious and did a great job representing the school.

Hey Hoosierdaddy (lol), I did see Kelley's Businessweek ranking... I'm in Chicago and can actually drive out for a visit, time permitting.

If I may, what were your other potential B-school choices and why Kelley?
