GT Scheller vs UGA Terry

If you do Apollo and SMIF at UGA and keep your GPA as high as possible 3.7+, ideally higher, you will probably get into banking, but you need to do well in the interview process. Also these are hard to get into.

I’d argue Tech has a better business school in general, but if you are a top student at UGA, you shouldn’t have an issue.

Current student at GT and I don't think you can really go wrong with either. I think UGA will give you a better network long term which will help as Tech has not had many placements in banking over history. Tech is more known outside of the south which can help give you a better brand name. But if your set on IB/PE right out of undergrad for sure I would go with UGA. If you have any doubts on career path I would go GT. 

You mba student?

I think Georgia Tech offers a lot more opportunities if one day in college, you decide that you no longer want to pursue IB.

I'm obviously super biased since I went to Tech, but between the Investments Committee and Accel program, BB/EB and MBB placement are quite common (but this is an extremely selective sample compared to the rest of the school).

However, if you want the quintessential college experience and are a big fan of college sports then you might lean more toward UGA. But as always: THWG

Look up Corsair Society at UGA and it will make your decision easy. Willing to talk offline too.

Didn’t go to either, but from GA and, anecdotally, cross paths with far more UGA grads than I do Tech grads. Take that for whatever it’s worth.

GT is a higher ranked business school. It’s going to be slightly more respectable, but both schools are going to require more networking than a standard target so anyone pointing you to clubs and “societies” is just stating the obvious.

There is little doubt in my mind that Tech carries more national recognition given it’s a better business school, and one of the top public schools in the nation. If you are planning to work in ATL/CLT/Nashville then UGA will have a good network, but outside of SE it’s not going to go that far.

I think you can get where you want to go either way, but Tech is objectively an advantage (albeit slight) just from pure rankings and national respect.

Def Georgia Tech. Better business school. More known outside of GA too. Tonsss of opportunities to get finance experience on your resume early on and part time with being in atlanta. Best move honestly is to go to tech, major in CS (optionality is huge) and get finance internships and IC on your resume
