<p>For economics:</p>
<p>In your opinion, which school are students more highly sought after on the undergraduate level?
Where is the better education?</p>
<p>I second the question</p>
<p>Why study econ at gtown when you can do business ;o</p>
<p>Generally speaking, I would pick Dartmouth over Georgetown for Economics. Dartmouth has a better undergraduate Econ program than Georgetown in my opinion. But Georgetown is a great university in its own right, and at the undergraduate level, Georgetown will offer more than an undergraduate can handle anyway. Since Dartmouth and Georgetown have almost nothing in common (from locale to campus culture), I recommend you consider the total experience and general fit rather than try to determine which school has a better Econ program.</p>
<p>what about for business, as frddygv suggested? which program is better?</p>
<p>dartmouth doesnt have undergrad business</p>
<p>well that settles that i guess. hahahaha thanks for all the help.</p>
<p>"Since Dartmouth and Georgetown have almost nothing in common (from locale to campus culture), I recommend you consider the total experience."</p>
<p>Can you explain the difference "from locale to campus calture." I have never visited these two schools but I'd like to learn a bit more information about them..</p>
<p>1) Georgetown is located in the nicest part (Georgetown and more specifically, M street) of a major international city. Dartmouth is rather rural, located at least 2 hours away from any major city. For city lovers, Georgetown is hard to beat...and for nature lovers, Dartmouth is amazing.</p>
<p>2) Socially, Georgetown students tend to use the city around them. This takes away from the "commumity feel" but gives students a wide variety of things to do. Dartmouth students have very few options other than the great outdoors and partying, but the community feel at Dartmouth is overwhelming (for better or worse) given its isolation and size.</p>
<p>3) Georgetown has a large international community (2,000 international students), whereas Dartmouth does not (fewer than 500 international students). Georgetown also has a global reputation as a result of its strength in International Relations and its location in the nation's capital.</p>
<p>4) A large chunk of Georgetown students are focused on one of three careers; Diplomacy, Law and Politics. Dartmouth students have a wider range of academic and professional interests.</p>
<p>I am sure I can think of other differences, but that's a good start.</p>
<p>hmm.. thanks!</p>
<p>I don't mean to steal the thread, but what about Georgetown vs. Michigan for business. Obviously I still have to get into both, but right now I like Georgetown just slightly better than Michigan. I know that in general Michigan has the better business program, but will Georgetown close any doors? (I am particularly interested in the most competetive jobs, i.e. investment banking.)</p>
<p>Also, does anyone have those lists of where the top firms recruit??? I know I've seen them on this site like 6000 times but I can't seem to find them right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>If you prefer Georgetown, go for it. Although Ross is ranked higher than McDonough, and Michigan is known for its Management/Strategy department (if you are interested in management consulting), Georgetown is one of those few universities than attracts a lot of top employers, so you will not lose that much by attending Georgetown over Michigan. </p>
<p>Go to page 40 of the link below and you will see just how well Georgetown B-School students do for themselves.</p>
<p>If you compare it to Michigan (Ross and McDonough are roughly the same size), you will see that Georgetown does just as well Michigan. </p>
<p>In this case, I recommend you go with the school you like better.</p>
<p>wow, good stuff. Thanks.</p>
<p>I've been a little suspicious of Georgetown since I saw their relatively low peer assessment score (4.0 compared to UM's 4.5) in USNWR, but this is good reassurance. By the way, is the peer assessment score based on the quality of the school AND the ability of the students, or just the quality of the school?</p>
<p>The peer assessment score is what deans and professors of Business schools think of the program.</p>
<p>Thanks Alexandre, those are very helpful. Do you happen to have those (or how to find them easily) for other schools?</p>
