Georgetown MSB vs UC Berkeley Haas Undergrad
Pretty confused on where to go between these two. Money isn't an issue either way, but nonetheless is the gap in prestige significant enough to justify going to Georgetown over Berkeley (I would have in state tuition at Berkeley).
Edit: I just want to give a big thank you to everyone who replied this post and gave me advice. I seriously wasn’t expecting anyone to give a shit. I’m really having a hard time making a decision, but hearing from people in the industry like all of you is immensely helpful and definitely could sway my choice. So yeah thanks for using your limited free time to help a clueless high schooler out. Much appreciated
You'll regret not going to Georgetown -- it's a fantastic school where you can still land in SF if you recruit intentionally.
Georgetown places better than a lot of Ivies for NYC placement, and I know several people from Georgetown doing analyst programs at MFs/UMMs after graduation. Yes, Berkeley has better weather and is more of a college town, but you can have fun anywhere.
Imagine implying GU places better than Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Wharton, Columbia, or Cornell
Sure, I filtered for each school by:
City: NYC Title: "Investment Banking" Years of attendance: 2014-2020 (Means they were a student at the school for at least one of these included years and graduated between 2014-2020)
Columbia University: 2,315 Alumni UPenn Wharton: 1,360 Alumni Cornell: 824 Alumni Harvard: 479 Alumni Yale: 443 Alumni Princeton: 405 Alumni UVA: 358 Alumni GU: 346 Alumni Duke: 340 Alumni UMich Ross: 274 Alumni Dartmouth: 291 Alumni Brown: 179 Alumni
Good thing I didn't mention Brown and Dartmouth, that's because I already knew GU places better than those two. I also wasn't talking about living conditions, you mentioned placement. No ego here, just faxx
Oh yeah, and GU is awesome. I'd definitely take it over Cal.
