BU SMG Vs. Villanova Business

Colleges and Universities A-Z Boston University

<p>My current choices are the BU Managment School and Villanova Business school. The thing holding me back about Villanova is that it is a Catholic school and I’m Asian and Atheist. My current high school has about 25% Asian population along with an 85% Jewish population and I feel pretty much at home here. That is why I’m leaning toward BU since it’s much more diverse (Villanova has about 80% caucasion) and it’s also in Boston, the greatest college town ever.</p>

<p>On the other hand, the reason I’m having this conflict is the reputation of the Villanova Business School is higher than SMG. Although I like the CORE program offered at BU, placement into IB firms and large companies seems more likely in Villanova from reading reviews and such. Anybody want to offer their opinion?</p>

<p>I am interested in I-Banking as well, and I'm pretty sure that if you aren't at an Ivy, you have to be proactive about landing those jobs regardless. Villanova is a good school, but it is not like Wharton where they will be tracking you down for these positions. I'm sure that in both SMG and Villanova, you will need to put yourself out there and work hard to land an IB analyst position.</p>
