Northwestern vs Georgetown vs Ross vs Vanderbilt
I'm deciding between four schools for undergrad and would really appreciate some insight, especially from those in finance or IB. My options are: Michigan Ross, Northwestern (Weinberg Econ), Georgetown (McDonough), and Vanderbilt (Econ/possibly HOD). I’m targeting investment banking (NYC ideally) and want to keep doors open for consulting or product management long-term. Prestige, OCR, alumni network, and overall placement into top firms are big factors. I also care about campus vibe, student life, and location (NYC access is a plus). Ross seems quite strong for NYC IB, but I’m unsure how it stacks up vs. the brand/placement of Northwestern, Vandy, or Georgetown. Would love to hear real talk on where I’ll have the best shot at breaking in. Thanks!
Northwestern > Georgetown > Michigan > Vandy
Ok thank you! Do you know any insight on like campus life, girls (lmfao), location about Northwestern? Would love to hear lol thanks a lot bro
I didn’t go to any of those schools. Just ranking them based on my perception of them.
Imo it’s Northwestern - Michigan for IB, vandy for consulting or healthcare - Georgetown
But some caveats are that vandy places better into healthcare than any of them and better in the south, Michigan may have a stronger finance network than NW in NY at this point (it is massive and they help each other), Georgetown used to be more of a consulting/politics/etc school, but they’ve made up some ground in recent years and is likely the best choice for being in DC. Obviously NW is excellent for Chicago exits.
Northwestern places the most kids into MBB per year after HYPS + Wharton. It quite literally is the school to go to if you want consulting.
I stand corrected
northwestern easily then georgetown
I would go with Georgetown. It’s not as prestigious at Northwestern overall, but for NYC IB, it’s definitely better. MBB Northwestern has the edge though. Ross is 1 step below, and Vandy is two steps below.
Northwestern
Georgetown
Georgetown is definitely better than Ross and Vandy according to the poll, but Northwestern seems to be winning by a good margin. I think Northwestern might be better tbh.
