<p>Thoughts anyone?</p>
<p>I applied to both also. USC’s business school is more established and higher in the rankings I believe, but overall Georgetown University is better. McDonough has a brand new gorgeous (according to my brother that goes there) building that will probably augment the business program. Have you been accepted to both? they’re both great!</p>
<p>[Undergrad</a> - BSchools](<a href=“http://bwnt.businessweek.com/interactive_reports/undergrad_bschool/]Undergrad”>http://bwnt.businessweek.com/interactive_reports/undergrad_bschool/)</p>
<p>USC gets A+ for job placement.</p>
<p>U.S. News rankings can be subjective and controversial, but Marshall is rated far higher than Georgetown’s McDonough. After checking I was unable to find even one program in their business school that was ranked even close to those at Marshall.
Marshall is ranked particularly high in Accounting 5th, Entrepreneurship 4th, International Business 5th and Real Estate 7th. Marshall has a strong emphasis on communication, analytical decision making and teamwork.
If I were interested in a career in foreign service I would be particularly interested in Georgetown. However, in business and accounting SC is considered a far better choice.
Also, business today is global. Marshall is a Pacific Rim business school. Marshall offers many opportunities for international travel and study. In addition, it now has the Business/International Relations Joint Program (BAIR).<br>
Programs which may interest you are: Global Leadership Seminar, Freshman Leadership Seminar and a unique program for freshman called the Marshall LINC program, Winslow-Maxwell Global Summer Internship Program and the International Exchange Program. Add to this the International ExCEL Program and the Career Advantage Program CAP.
SC has the reputation of giving generous financial aid. Many scholarships are available on a competitive basis.</p>
