USC has the higher-ranked business school but Georgetown is the overall better school.
In Hong Kong, where I am planning to work, there are a LOT of usc alumni (and not many georgetown alumni), but prestige reigns supreme there and georgetown is definitely superior to usc in that.
So with the above factors considered, which school would help me more in getting a banking job in Hong Kong?

fuck prestige, come to usc and fuck bitches
Wise words from a wise man.
In all seriousness, the Asian network at USC is pretty real. USC holds some record I believe for most alumni abroad or most foreigners holding degrees from a university or something like that. Then of course there's LA location - better weather, women and more of a gateway to asia (vs. DC)
Neither, improve your test scores and go to a target.
I'm trying to determine which school has the advantage purely when it comes to career options in Hong Kong.
I know that there are a LOT of usc alumni in Hong Kong and China, but does quantity trump quality (prestige) in this case?
Nobody from USC in my summer analyst class -- 4-5 for Gtown. BB S&T FYI.
USC is well known in Asia.
Of the 2, I would take Georgetown. But I will admit, LA has shittons better weather than DC. If anything, I would choose neither and do something else.
they're both pretty shitty schools you know
lol
