My feelings about Kelley:
1. A great public school.
2. Lacks marketing efforts to make it an ivey league. They have not focussed much on Asia to increase the image..Now they are doing so.
3. Faculty is the best according to everyone.
4. Disadvatage of location (Bloomington is somewhat far to major cities). But I like living in calm cities than cities of unconnected hyper active places. So no qualms here.
5. Too good for marketing. Kelley is a Great marketing school as per many. My interest is to get into Strategy and Consulting, where around 12% class of the kelley goes. But I believe that if I am among the best in the school, I can live my dreams.
6. Alumni base is really good. The program is quite old and has got many alumni.
Yes..I can wait and try to get into a top-10 school. But Kelley has got many good students (as per my knowledge from indian admits, where people have got good profiles)..After all what I need is just a break..A break that I have not got in the past 4 years..So WILL GO TO KELLEY, who has shown the love that no one else has shown..(Kelley was my last application in the application process and unarguably my best application).

The bloomington location is a significant disadvantage w.r.t jobs post MBA. Very few companies, apparently, come on campus.
And the midwest area itself has ONLY one metro i.e Chicago.
I myself am deciding whether to attend Kelley. Stiull thinking whether Kelley deserves to be a top 20 school. Seems that schools ranked slightly lower than Kelley have better placements.
thanks for your comment, and good luck with Kelley.
Congratulations on your admit to Kelley!

Check out this list of metro area sizes in the US. Other midwestern cities in the top 25 are 10. Detroit, 16. Minneapolis, 18. St. Louis, 23. Cleveland, 25. Cincinnati. Alchemist, there are plenty of companies recruiting at IU from these cities alone. If you want to go elsewhere, Kelley will help and you have to work hard. Of all the schools I applied to, Kelley has been the most helpful by far. I look forward to seeing you at Kelley in the fall!
Sorry, goofed the link.
tropolitan_areas was supposed to be at the end of that.
