<p>Hi everyone!
Can you analyze/evaluate the pros and cons of persuing a business major in these three colleges? I would like to know more about the comparison of their specialties/internship opportunities/study abroad programs. Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>btw my SAT scores:
SATI 2100
SATII physics 730 MathII 780 </p>
<p>I posted this post on the other two college's forum as well.</p>
<p>On scores alone, your chances at each of these is pretty average, especially Georgetown and CMU.</p>
<p>Georgetown McDonough(sp?) School of Business:
-Pros
Location
Top notch facilities and faculty
Amazing connections with top banks => amazing job placements for investment banking
Often an “overlooked” school if one goes just by rankings</p>
<p>-Cons
Cost
Georgetown requires 3 subject tests I believe
Majors other than finance seem to get shafted</p>
<p>CMU Tepper:
-Pros
Small size
Top notch academics
Small recruiting crowd has some very big names (Susquehanna, Wolverine, Belvedere, D.E. Shaw). FULL TIME trading positions, not just operations.
Very well respected finance, IS, and MIS concentrations</p>
<p>-Cons
Quant heavy; don’t go if your calculus is weak
Cost (roughly equivalent to G-town without scholarships)
Social life (Campus in general, business students tend to be more social and attend parties anyway though)</p>
<p>USC marshall
-Pros
Weather
Trojan Network for great west coast job placements</p>
<p>-Cons
Not the best school for Wall Street
Expensive as well</p>
<p>For Wall Street, your best choices are Tepper and G-town MSB. Georgetown’s strong suit is undeniably investment banking. Tepper sends more kids into S&T. Depends on your career goals.</p>
<p>thank you so much! this really helps me out!</p>
