Rochester, Kelly, and Notre Dame all seem to be after me... Sending letters about waiving application fees, talking about full tution fellowships, etc... I am having difficulty determining the fundemental differences between these programs...
Kelly: Has recruitment from Goldman and other top companies in investment banking and consulting
Nortre Dame: My current employer Fidelity Investments and other top investment management/research firms seem to recruit there... and are not indicated on Kelly's lists
Rochester: Good starting salaries... Offering me to waive application fee for me.
I am interested in finance... Very interested in investment management/research. I might be interested in investment banking as well, but I just don't know what an investment banker does in his day to day work. I really want all options on the table. They all seem to be fairly strong for finance but different.
Can you explain what distinguishes these schools from each other?

Indiana/Kelley is BusinessWeek's favorite among the near elites and probably has the strongest reputation for GM of these three schools. It tends to have numerous placements in pharma and consumer goods. Its finance placements are consistent with the near elite cluster, but do not seem particularly strong in this regard.
Notre Dame is known as one of the nation's strongest schools in accounting. In addition, it is highly regarded for the strength of its alumni base (generally as the strongest of these three schools) and its emphasis on ethics. Not surprisingly, it tends to have a large number of placements with the major acctg firms.
Rochester/Simon has the strongest academic reputation in finance among these three schools and stands up well in academic reputation in finance and applied economics to most elite and transelite schools as well (this is consistent with the parent university’s reputation as one of the ten best economics programs in the US). It tends to have several placements with Citigroup and typically has at least a few placements each year with the major firms (e.g, GS, ML, MS, DB, LB).
