What is “FGLI” ?

If Georgetown McDonough will cost you just $2,000 per year versus $25,000 per year at Michigan Ross, then very serious consideration should be given to Georgetown MSB.

If G’Town is close to your home, how is U Chicago too far, but U Michigan not too far?

In that case, your choice is made, and it is an excellent choice.

Georgetown for $2,000…that’s an amazing opportunity. Ross is great and they will help you succeed but Georgetown is kinda known around the world. Both are really amazing opportunities but use your business sense and ROI. Then it’s a no brainer. You will be successful wherever you go. Getting into these 2 schools programs proves that. Be active and involved on Campus and good things will come your way. Congratulations!

If you’re really interested in MBB/IB then target schools are really the best way to get noticed. Even will be tough at semi-targets like Gtown. UChicago has some of the best IB/MBB recruiting. Ross is also very good.

What the f I swear Georgetown is a target

Yes you’re right. At many firms Georgetown is a clear target. But in others not so much. There is always lots of debate around this. Search the forums at WallStreetOasis for more details. But in general the greater the prestige of the undergrad school (ie better ranking) then the easier it will be to recruit into IB/MBB.

I didn’t get into to duke which was the second closest target to me so I thought if I exploit being a diversity candidate it won’t matter so much

Georgetown is clearly a target. Their placement into BBs is consistently in the top 3 out of all schools per capita. And obviously Georgetown isn’t a target school at every single firm—no school is not even HYP
