<p>Okay so here is my problem and I wanted some feedback from some people here. My main question is which University has a better business school, better chances for making connections, and a better chance of getting a job in Finance? Currently I am a UMD student this is my first semester after transferring, I will be applying to the Smith business school for the fall of 2013. I also applied to Georgetown when I applied to Maryland but won't have a response until June, which is before I would have a response from the Business School at UMD. So my options assuming I am accepted would be transfer to Georgetown and pay a much larger amount in tuition (would the difference be worth it?), if I am accepted and I do not attend I risk possibly not getting into the Smith Business School and having to get a degree in Economics from UMD. So which business school would you attend? Now if I go to UMD I would graduate with zero student loans, if I go to Georgetown probably 30k. And I have a decent GPA right now 3.89, and an impressive resume with 7 years work experience, and investment experience.</p>

<p>But Smith Business is strong. Avoiding $30k in loans is a big deal. If you don’t get into Smith and graduate with undergraduate degree in economics, an MBA down the line is an option perhaps?</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply, I haven’t heard anything bad about either program, but it does seem Georgetown has more prestige. Thanks for the input.</p>
<p>I also recommend you post this same question in the Georgetown and Univ of Maryland sections. [Georgetown</a> University - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/georgetown-university/]Georgetown”>Georgetown University - College Confidential Forums) and [University</a> of Maryland - College Park - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-maryland-college-park/]University”>University of Maryland - College Park - College Confidential Forums) Current students are more likely to respond there.</p>
