<p>I want to do finance and was wondering which business school I've been admitted to would be the most advantageous in job placement. I feel that each school's culture is positive, so I would love to go to any of them, but what are the pros/cons of each specifically in finance. </p>
<p>As far as financial considerations:
Stern- 30k scholarship
McDonough-10k
Haas-10k
McIntire-(10k loan)
Ross-- waiting
Kenan-Flager-- 9k
Mendoza--waiting
Tepper-10k</p>
<p>Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>what state are you from? the financial picture doesn’t make too much sense until we know that. I think McIntire, Ross, and Mendoza do pretty well in job placement, but Stern definitely has the advantage of being near Wall Street, and McDonough does have the D.C. advantage. Overall though I’d say you can’t really go wrong.</p>
<p>if you like/can bear with the lifestyle of NYU, stern would be the best choice. otherwise i’d go tepper or georgetown.</p>
<p>If you can bear not having a campus, grade deflation, and stunted social life, then go Stern.</p>
<p>Because your major is finance, go Ross (assuming you get pre-admit), McIntire (isn’t this a 2 year program?), or McDonough. I’m not so sure how Haas does for Wall St since it is on the West Coast so I really can’t help there. I don’t think CMU, Notre Dame, or UNC are better than the previous four for finance.</p>
<p>I also have questions surrounding this… I have been admitted to McDonough as well as the University of Michigan (not pre-admit).
How is the social life at Gtown and how does McDonough stack up against Ross?</p>
<p>McDonough and Ross are equals but I would go with Gtown since you’ve already been admitted to McDonough.</p>
<p>Congrats on all the acceptances netsrule78!</p>
<p>I am probably going to get a lot of hate for this considering this is the Georgetown forum, but compared to your other choices, McDonough is probably the worst of these. If you look at these rankings ([Best</a> Undergraduate Business Programs | Rankings | US News](<a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/business-overall]Best”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/business-overall)), you see that Stern, Ross, Haas, Mendoza and Tepper are better choices. If not this ranking check other rankings, McDonough really does not stack up.</p>
<p>But mind you, that should not be important. Ranking should not matter, but you ask for which school will give you the best job placement, hands down in this case Stern wins. It is in NYC and the fact that they are giving you the most money too should be a clear plus. Hope you choose what is best for you in the end and good luck!</p>
<p>^Completely disagree with this assessment. These rankings do not tell the story about your undergraduate experience and the personal and professional potential that comes with the Georgetown experience. My sister attended McDonough, received numerous job offers on Wall Street (in large part due to the strong Georgetown network there) and was named one of Wall Street’s Young Businesswomen of the Year (along with 2 other Georgetown classmates, more representation than any other undergraduate school).</p>
