American University vs. George Washington University

Which one is better in terms of rep on wall street. I know Gary Cohn (COO of Goldman) and a few JP Morgan, Goldman & Barcap IB guys went to AU. But I don't know about GWU.

So whats the consensus ? Which is better for IB (I know they are both non- targets)

GWU

"Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, for knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA."
