northwestern vs georgetown SFS vs pomona college
I was recently accepted to these three schools, and I was wondering which schools would provide me with the greatest opportunities into MBB. I'm mainly looking at the NYC and LA/Bay Area offices after graduating, which is why I included Pomona. Also, to my understanding, recruiting at Pomona is slightly less competitive since the other 2 schools simply have more students interested in the field. If I can get into say the LA office at BCG (apparently BCG loves pomona), would I have the ability to transfer to a NYC office later or vice versa with say NU, chicago, and the Bay Area? Also, how much does alumni network matter after the first job?
On a separate note, I don't want to rule out IB either at this stage. Would the school I should select change if I were more interested in IB than consulting? Thanks!
Ehh I'd actually pick Gtown SFS. SFS is on par with HYP in prestige if I'm not mistaken. And MBB recruits from SFS, not really the rest of Gtown.
Can’t see how that’s true. SFS has the about the same or higher acceptance rate as the rest of Georgetown (14%). SFS has a great international brand, but I cannot imagine it being considered HYP level, or even more prestigious than the rest of Gtown.
Do some research. SFS is above the bottom 5 ivies and is on HYP level. Don't look at the acceptance rate. Look at the quality of students applying. They are a few notches above the rest of Gtown. Gtown's prestige actually stems from SFS. The rest of the schools in the university aren't anything remarkable.
"Academic credentials are the same for SFS as the rest of Georgetown." That's just simply not true at all. Once again, forget acceptance rate. The quality of students applying to SFS are on a different level than the rest of Gtown. The students who are interested in politics and have a shot at HYP are applying to Gtown SFS hoping to get in. The applicant pool is far stronger than what you would find at MSB/Gtown College, so while they may accept the same number of people, it is much much harder to get into SFS. Also, in 2018, MSB sent 4 kids to Mckinsey/Bain while SFS sent 10. And I would venture on to argue that less people are interested in consulting from SFS seeing as most people go into politics, whereas MSB is, well, a business school.
From a fellow gtown alum, shut the fuck up. you sound insecure and frankly autistic. stop making my school look bad
I think you should really choose between NW and Gtown. Anybody telling you NW has more prestige than Gtown is probably a NW alum who is still trying to compensate since he got flat-out rejected from UChicago. As someone who didn't go to either school I think of them as about the same level of elite prestige. For IB, Gtown >>>>>>>> NW. It really isn't close when it comes to IB recruitment as Gtown really does seem to be an IB powerhouse. For consulting, NW will definitely be better, although reading through some of these comments makes me think it won't be better by all that much. I'd probably go to Gtown, but I'm also a sucker for politics related stuff. Good luck!
Go to Northwestern - easily the highest ranked school. Georgetown is great, but many view it as borderline top 20 school
