- About me – International MBA applicant from India. Pre-MBA experience of 11 years predominantly in the Technology function working for Top tier banks.
- I have been admitted to Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business with 80% scholarship (includes GA).
- I also have an admit from Georgetown’s MSB with approximately 60% scholarship.
- My post MBA target is Consulting for Banking & Capital Markets specifically in areas of Strategy and/or Technology & Operations.
- Post MBA another area of interest is Internal Strategy roles within Financial Services firms.
I choose to apply at both the schools because of the smaller class size, the overall reputation of the programs and the probability of scholarship if I were admitted.
I am married and want to keep the cost of MBA as low as possible owing to other financial commitments and the overall earnings prospects post MBA with a family to support.
At this point of time, I am inclined to attend Kelley because of the overall prestige of the MBA program and the great things I’ve learnt about the Career Services team.
The success of the Career Services in placing Internationals in Consulting is another highlight – though most of it could be in Technology Consulting which I am keen to avoid.
I am also interested in McDonough because of the location in a major city and the proximity to NY for networking.
Though the undertone by speaking to lot of Internationals at MSB has made me feel that Internationals in general have an uphill task in getting a job of their choice (true for most schools out of top 10).
I have checked the recruitment statistics of both the schools and almost the same set of Consulting firms recruit from both the schools.
I know many past discussions around this topic but I would welcome fresh perspectives from folks here.

Hi congrats!
I highly suggest that you contact georgetown and ask them to match your scholarship with kelly.
Georgetown is a great school. Much better brand than kelly. Even without the scholarship match i would attend Georgetown. Have you visited the school? You should it will gice you a sense of which program you will enjoy more. The thing is, indiana has only 1 good program, while GT has many great programs in the school. You will have access to the great professors who teach other courses and its students as well. Ranked 1 international relations top ranked law amd med school.. Etc. great undergrad program too. These all contribute to the georgetown brand as well. Not to mention that gt is ranked higher than kelly in poetsandquant which combines all reputable rankings to one.
Really give it a thought.
Kudos!/

I agree that poets and quants is a quality ranking because they use all other rankings. Last time I checked Kelley was rank higher than GT. Kelley is ranked higher than GT in every ranking except for FT. Both are quality regional schools. I think it comes down to where you want to live after your MBA. East Coast or Midwest?
