Colleges and Universities A-Z Washington University in St. Louis

<p>I've been accepted to all 3 of these schools, the college of arts and sciences at Gtown and the business schools at Wash U and Michigan. I want to eventually end up doing business and I want to go to the best graduate business school possible. Here is a list of positives and negatives I have for each school and hopefully you can tell me whether they are accurate or not.</p>

<p>Wash U
Positives: 13th ranked school, 4th ranked business school, beautiful campus, good MBA feeder, good facilities
Negatives: known as stressful, no parties, stigma as a generally "stranger" group of students</p>

<p>Michigan
Positives: football/basketball teams, incredible parties, tons of fun
Negatives: lowest ranked school of the 3, possibly get treated like a number</p>

<p>Georgetown
Positives: DC/Georgetown is an incredible area, although not as highly ranked as Wash U it has a good reputation for business, basketball/balance of fun
Negatives: smaller campus, no fraternities, Jesuit influence</p>

<p>Well, washu is stressful, I agree; there’s a nearly perfect correlation between strength of program and stress of that program, so it’s a give and take. While obviously its party scene is not that of Michigan’s, it’s definitely not non-existant - I’d wager it’s not significantly worse than Georgetown’s. And to be completely honest, I have never heard the stigma that washu students are particularly “weird”. If anything, it is schools like UChicago with a reputation of a “quirky” student body.</p>

<p>For business, I don’t believe Michigan is lower than Georgetown. Not positive though.</p>

<p>I have no information that contradicts anything else - up to you to decide what factors you value the most.</p>
