<p>Where would be the best place to go in terms of:</p>
<ul>
<li>Job placement (my #1 concern)</li>
<li>Opportunities for internships</li>
<li>Best value for my money</li>
</ul>
<p>*I realize that NU does not have an undergraduate b-school when compared to the other schools. Also, I am OOS accepted into UT-Austin's McCombs School, so in-state tuition obviously does not apply to me.</p>
<p>What are each school's top programs for business school preparation? I know that NU is well known for econ and UT-Austin is #1 for Accounting, but what about WashU and Emory?</p>
<p>If you recommend WashU and its Olin School, for example, where do most graduates go to work? Midwest? What about the East, South, or West? I'm just concerned that if I go to Emory and its Goizueta School, for instance, I'll have a difficult time finding jobs outside the Southeast.</p>
<p>I also heard WashU grads (other than premeds, WashU has great med school placement) have difficulty finding jobs after graduation--is this true?</p>
<p>Right now I'm considering to go into investment banking or consulting.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>UT or Northwestern. UT is great all around…although for IB or consulting I would go with NW, because its kind of hard to get IB (but definitely not impossible) from UT if you arent in the Business Honors Program (the kids in this program have a leg up over the regular business kids when it comes to recruiting). Olin and Goizueta are overrated…especially Olin.</p>
<p>For investment banking and consulting, Olin is not a great choice.</p>
<p>Northwestern University is the best overall choice for these fields by far</p>
<ol>
<li>Northwestern</li>
<li>UT Honors Business</li>
<li>Emory</li>
<li>washu</li>
</ol>
<p>The differences in the quality of the business offerrings are slight. I do think your regional concern is appropriate and would consider Northwestern to have the broadest range for job placement. But all are great colleges and graduates from each do very well in post-graduate job placement and all can get you in position to interview for where you want to go. </p>
<p>I would say to mute your postgraduate concerns and focus more on the environment in which you want to be for the next four years. For example, I can’t imagine a much more different undergrad choice than between UT and Wash U, so think more about what aspects you liked best about these colleges and let those factors guide you. What are you looking for?</p>
