Syracuse vs NorthEastern vs George Washington U

<p>Major: Finance
Career: thinking of going into I-banking or becoming a financial analyst.</p>

<p>I got admitted by these schools but I'm confused about which one to enroll...I don't know much about them, only know NEU and GWU's locations are great. What about their job placement and academic quality?Any advice?
Thank you very much!</p>

<p>Syracuse has a new building for their business school. The city of Syracuse is so-so. Northeastern and GW are in exciting cities but Syracuse business program is as good as GW and better than NW.</p>

<p>In terms of job placement, GW and NE will give you a leg up in DC and Boston, respectively. Most I-banking is based in New York, but 'Cuse is too far away to have an internship in the city during the year, and firms recruit at all the big schools anyway, so you won't really get an advantage there. GW is probably your best bet.</p>

<p>Northeastern seems like a great choice. The co-ops make a huge difference.</p>

<p>Northeastern is pretty underrated IMO. I agree with NESSM, I've seen some people get jobs with some very good companies through co-op. If you're a good student then you shouldn't have too much trouble getting a nice job for co-op and setting up your future contacts with that company and other companies once you graduate.</p>

<p>Thank u so much!
I know co-ops in Northeastern make a huge difference for job hunting. Internships around GWU are also great. But besides job placement, I also take academic quality into consideration b/c I may choose to pursue my studies at a top grad Bschool after undergrad. Which of the three programs has the best academic quality and reputation?
Thx again!</p>

<p>GW for internships</p>

<p>As a Syracusan whose family's small business painted the new building, I have to say SU.</p>

<p>Biased? YAH but I simply can't help but recommend Whitman.</p>
