GWU, Vanderbilt, Wash U St Louis - thoughts?

I've posted on these boards for advice on accounting masters programs, and I thought I should create a separate thread to draw attention to these three schools.

Does anyone have any experience/thoughts on the b-schools at GWU, Vanderbilt & Wash U St Louis? I'm interested in knowing more about: -job prospects -recruiting -quality of program and the people, -quality of life

I'm looking to do a masters in accounting. Thanks!

I'd say Wash U's b school is probably the best of those three, but i honestly dont know much about gwu. I also know a bunch of pple in the MACC programs at vandy and wash u, and have heard good things.

having said that, if you are trying to eventually get a job in nyc -- you will struggle at wash u or vandy. not very many ny recruiters come out to either of these schools. of course its still doable, you just need to rely more on your own connections, rather than the school's.
