20K + 34k GA... confused between Olin and Kelley... the loan product + 30k schol that Olin offered is very tempting ... moreover the college has shown progressive improvement in rankings and placements
Washington University is regarded more highly than Indiana, but as far as business school is concerned, Kelley > Olin. (Don't go just by 1 ranking, US rankings 2013)
There are so many factors.
1. Class size : You can have a relatively bigger class size and a larger alumni network at Kelley.
2. Cost: Olin is marginally costlier than Kelley
3. Schol : You have a better offer at Kelley.
4. Teaching method/curriculum: Kelley has academies/majors/minors, Olin not much!
5. Ultimately, it depends on your career goals too. Kelley is strong in Accounting, marketing, entrepreneurship and supply-chain. Dont know much about olin though.
Even I had to forego the 30k at olin for kelley. Hope that helps!
