<p>Which of these schools would you pick over Georgetown? (and why?)</p>
<p>not totally sure about my major, but probably either Business major/Biology minor or vice versa.</p>
<p>Stanford
Penn
Columbia
UCLA
Berkeley
UCSD
UVA
Pomona
Claremont McKenna
USC</p>
<p>Penn for business. Stanford for either.</p>
<p>I agree with the poster above ^</p>
<p>I would have to pick Columbia over Georgetown because of it being in NYC
&& USC probably because of their athletics.</p>
<p>But if you were to ask what would you pick Georgetown over I would say</p>
<p>UCLA
Berkeley
UCSD
UVA
Pomona
Claremont McKenna</p>
<p>Yeah I know Berkeley&UCLA are good schools but I’m not from Cali and I wouldn’t want to go to another state school but my own. As for the last two I’m not interested in LACs. And I would rather be in D.C. than at UVa</p>
<p>Penn and Columbia for business. Stanford for either.</p>
<p>You have an interesting list of colleges. LACs and large public universities will offer very different experiences. What is your criterion for this list? Do you prefer large classes or small classes? West Coast or East Coast location? Is Name recognition in international business important? Using these questions, you may be able to narrow down your list.</p>
<p>Stanford
Berkeley
Penn
Columbia</p>
<p>UVA
UCLA</p>
<p>pick all of them over Georgetown</p>
<p>I thought about recommending Columbia too, but having visited both Georgetown and Columbia, I actually liked Georgetown considerably more. Academically though, Columbia probably is better for business.</p>
<p>Out of that list, Stanford. If you’re a heavy math/science major.</p>
<p>APOL - my college list can seem random, i know - but class sizes and number of students aren’t really things that matter to me. i can adapt to a large or small student body, plus with the claremont colleges (the outliers on my list, i know) i feel that the consortium makes them a little bit bigger than a regular LAC. </p>
<p>west or east coast doesn’t matter for me - i’m from the east coast but was born on the west and have family there, so i’d be comfortable on either. one criteria of my schools was it has to be closer or as close to a major city as my town is from NYC (1.5 hours). UVA is the one exception to that rule for other reasons.</p>
<p>i know my list may seem random, but don’t worry, it’s extremely well-thought out and i would be happy at any of the colleges on this list. </p>
<p>i got into georgetown EA and am trying to piece together what i’d do depending on where else i got in so the decision doesn’t have to be made in the confines of a month.</p>
<p>also, columbia, UCLA, and stanford i believe don’t have business majors - but i’d major in biology and minor in another field that interests me, probably economics.</p>
<p>Forget the UC’s OOS, not worth the price. For a public, consider UMich along with UVa. If you want urban, forget CMC.</p>
<p>btw: UCLA doesn’t offer undergrad biz nor does Stanford.</p>
<p>Bluebayou, thanks for the input on UC’s OOS. I’ve been getting that advice a lot…Michigan’s too cold for me haha! Regarding the urban and undergrad biz, read my earlier post.</p>
<p>Penn and Columbia are much warmer than Michigan? BTW, how was your snowstorm? Here in Michigan we got a little dusting…</p>
<p>I’d stay this far north for Penn and Columbia. They’re the my exceptions to my cold criteria. Besides the point, though…maybe I should clarify. East and West coasts. But anyways, not the point - I’m not looking for a college list, I’m asking where you would personally attend over Georgetown. My college list is finalized and applied to already!</p>
<p>Haas is definitely worth the price for OOS or International students. It’s only on CC that it’s not.</p>
<p>
The average salary of new Haas graduates is a little over a $50K. The cost of attendance for four years at Berkeley is over $200K.</p>
<p>Admittance to Haas is also a gamble. Only 50% of UCB students are admitted.</p>
<p>Considering this and that there are schools with both better financial aid and recruiting, I would say no, Haas is not worth it. I would agree if you said engineering was.</p>
<p>
Penn and Stanford. Personal preference, not prestige. </p>
<p>I’d pick Georgetown over Columbia.</p>
<p>Thanks for the input, everyone, this has been really helpful.</p>
<p>IBclass06 - are you able to pinpoint a reason why? I have the same feeling but for some reason can’t figure out why I’d choose Georgetown over Columbia.</p>
<p>Georgetown has a more vibrant campus life than Columbia. New York is nice, I suppose, but I’d rather have a nicer campus feel and a smaller city.</p>
<p>

<p>The OP didn’t say that s/he has a finaid from Georgetown. If s/he has a finaid at Georgetown, it’s alright to stay. But if both schools (Cal and Georgetown) would cost just as much, then Haas is the better option since Haas is more prestigious than McDonough, and Haas graduates are more sought after by top employers. If the OP wouldn’t end up at Haas, Berkeley is still the better choice because Berkeley is superior to Georgetown and Berkeley’s econ is very well respected.</p>
<p>RML - you’re right, no finaid. full pay everywhere</p>
<p>Can’t you get one of these so-called “merit scholarships” that you love and admire so much???</p>
