<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>Visit. You won’t have a problem finding parties at georgetown. No need for fraternities. The whole school is one big fraternity. How are the Jesuits a negative? They have a philosophy of educating the whole person. Mind, body, spirit. For football Michigan is the place.</p>
<p>if you’re going just by location, go Georgetown.
if you’re going just by rank, go to WashU (though Georgetown is arguably the best school in this mix in terms of competitiveness and quality of education).
if you’re going by sheer number and quality of parties, and want a bigger, more impersonal experience, go to Michigan.</p>
<p>I can confidently say that in terms of academics, prestige and recruiting fro Business, Michigan is the best, that is, if you already got into the Ross school as a preferred admit which is really rare. Ross is extremely selective, and I chose not to attend Michigan because I was scared that I might not be admitted after a year. Instead I chose a very good business school at Boston College. Let me just say that the Businessweek ranking are completely ridiculously (this coming from a Boston College student whose school is ranked 6th). BC should be ranked lower. No way are we even close to Wharton as just one spot behind them. When I was at Michigan, it was clear that Ross students ran the school. People envied them, and jokingly made fun of them, as being elitists and thinking that they were better than everyone else. For undergraduate business schools, Wharton, MIT, Michigan, Virginia, and NYU Stern are all on a different level than the rest.</p>
