Georgetown vs Cornell (hotel administration) vs Notre Dame

I was wondering what your thoughts on these programs are for getting into investment banking. I got into Cornell but only in the hotel administration major so I really don’t know what to do.

Georgetown MSBl? If so, excellent placements. Almost everyone who tries gets BB/EB. We had almost 7 or 8 BX this year too. Finance clubs are a must though (GUSIF, Zeeba, etc.)

 

georgetown - smallest school and best location out of the 3, so there is less competition for the top spots, and more to do in the city.

also, if you ever decide to switch schools at georgetown, it's not hard at all, and most classes are small, so you can get close with profs and have a great learning experience.

all 3 schools have amazing alumni networks, so you can't go wrong, but i chose gtown over 2 ivies + duke and i never looked back!

 

only thing really hurt ggt is the usnews ranking. think the school actually has great placement, just the ranking really deterred me from going there for undergrad.
