Georgetown vs. UVA (in-state)

Hey guys, got into both Georgetown MSB and UVA CAS/pre-Comm w/ in-state as a sophomore transfer (from non-target) and having trouble deciding between the two. I really like both schools, but I believe that Georgetown places better than UVA for IB. Is it worth the higher tuition just for better placement in IB?

All advice is appreciated :)

If you are already accepted to MSB then take it, COMM school is hard to get into, why risk it?   $$ obviously an issue of course.

 

As a Georgetown student, I would say UVA is a “good enough” school that it won’t preclude you from having a shot at any bank. Of course, I would say that means that you should take UVA over any school at all, HSW be damned, just from the tuition standpoint.
