<p>I was accepted early action in to MSB and also preferred admit to university of michigan's ross school. However i am in love with both schools so i wanted some input on the pros/cons of both business school and what not. I know Ross is ranked really highly, but will my job prospects actually increase if i go there? My only problem with michigan is that it is too big, however I don't really like that georgetown is catholic either. HELP PLEASE :)</p>
<p>o.O you already got accepted into Ross preferred? wow..I've only heard of like a few who have found out already..mines still pending -_- when did you find out?</p>
<p>& i think it honestly depends wut type of business you want to do. If you're looking for international business i'd go to DC for the atmosphere, but Ross's recruiting is amazing for their students in terms of huge companies and firms on campus there. I got accepted into SFS early so it's different comparison. =]</p>
<p>i found uot in late dec. prob around dec. 23 ish
I think i want to either do international business, finance or something consulting related</p>
<p>Hellogoodbye4evr - First off, congratulations on your admission to both the MSB and Ross School preferred admit program. I am a senior at the Ross School of Business. When considering schools, I had many of the same questions/concerns about Michigan's size. As you probably know, the preferred admit program exposes you to one year in the LSA program at UM and 3 years in the Ross. While Michigan's campus can seem large at times, the Ross groups students into four or five 70 student sections. This allows students to have close interactions with each other and provides an avenue for long-lasting friendships. I never felt that Michigan was too large or that I was "just a number." As far as the job prospects, I can only attest to the strong internship and full-time placements through the Ross School's Office of Career Development. I do not know of any of my fellow graduating Ross Wolverines without a full-time offer. While I cannot comment on the
MSB, I can assure you that my education at the Ross School of Business has been the key factor of my personal success. Good luck with your decision and GO BLUE!</p>
<p>My son graduated from Ross last May and I can tell you that both Ross and U of M were the best experiences he could possibly have had. You certainly won't get the school spirit and great football at Georgetown that you will at U of M, if that type of thing appeals to you. As Luckykyle313 said, recruiting at Ross is tops, both in terms of internships and first year positions. My son is now in NYC working his tail off but learning alot in one of the investment banking firms.</p>
<p>I chose between Georgetown University and UM, and went with G'town.</p>
<p>At both schools you are going to learn accounting, finance, statistics, marketing, etc. And the same banks and consulting firms recruit at both schools, so if you do well and the economy is in decent shape you'll get a good before graduation.</p>
<p>However, if you have any interests outside of business courses you might want to compare the strengths and weakness of each university as whole. </p>
<p>I personally have a very strong interest in globalization so I took advantage of courses in Georgetown's School of Foreign Service and College of Arts and Science. I also have an interest in the arts, so DC, with its art galleries and concert halls made Georgetown another great fit. As far as school spirit goes, it's true we don't have a big time football program (they play patriot and ivy league schools and I still cheer for the Wolverines), however there is a lot of tradition and passion surrounding the basketball program. This weekend they're celebrating 100 years and honoring Patrick Ewing, Dikembe Mutombo, Alonzo Mourning, Allen Iverson, Paul Tagliabue, and 95 other former players. Finally, I wanted to study abroad and Georgetown made it very easy, in fact, a majority of juniors go overseas.</p>
<p>The bottom line is, no matter where you choose to go you'll get your good job working your tail off and learning a lot in NYC. However, the journeys and the people you meet before you get there will be very different. Choose your path accordingly and enjoy the ride. And remember, if you feel like you made a mistake you're free to transfer.</p>
