McCombs (not honors) vs Kelley Honors vs Mays Honors
Basically just the title! What are the pros and cons of each, and which one should I pick? I'm looking to major in finance or business analytics but I still want to explore different fields before deciding for sure.
Here are some other factors that are important to me:
- Career outcomes after graduation (access to job opportunities & salary are huge)
- Access to internships during undergrad
- A strong network
- Quality of academics
- Preferably NO grade deflation
Just a clarification - I technically haven't gotten into Kelley Honors yet, I was just invited to apply to their ACE program which is a direct pathway into Honors. I need to fly to Indiana to do an interview which costs money so I'm debating whether it is even worth applying.
Some extra context - I am a Texas resident BUT I got pretty big merit scholarships from Indiana that would make the cost just barely more expensive than McCombs/Mays tuition. Cost is also not an issue for my family, which I am immensely grateful for, so please do not factor cost into your advice :)
