UCL MSc Management vs Georgetown MSc Management
Hello. I am received offers from both Georgetown and UCL MSc Management programs and I am trying to decide which to choose. Both programs are fairly new so there is not that much info on them. I am American, but I would definitely prefer to live in London post graduation (the UK just passed a law that allows international students to work in the UK for 2 years after school). I don't really know much about the recruiting scene in London i'm hoping someone can tell me a little more about it. Does UCL have good on campus recruiting? Is it considered a target school for investment banking or consulting? If for some reason I have to come back to the US will a degree from UCL still afford me good opportunities in the states? Thanks in advance!

UCL isn't a target at the postgraduate level, would avoid unless the rest of your profile is stellar.
I'm surprised. Is there a reason for this?
In the UK masters programmes (even at tier 1 universities) are notorious for being cash cows that aren’t selective at all. Given that maybe 50% of an IB analyst class has a MSc, it makes sense to figure out which specific courses are actually good or not. Unfortunately, the UCL course isn’t that well regarded, maybe because it’s new(ish) and isn’t as selective as competitor courses.
Not the best way to do it, but a quick LinkedIn search shows that placement is pretty barren.
Did you apply anywhere else? If you got into Georgetown I’m sure you could get into a different programme.
Any other thoughts on this?
Georgetown's masters degrees are also seen as a cash cow. Similar case for UCL as a previous poster mentioned.
Did you apply to anywhere else? Why only UCL and Georgetown?
I am also surprised by this. I applied and got into King's College London and Boston University but I thought that UCL or Georgetown would be the better choice.
I am shocked to find out these programs are considered cash cows. I figured that undergraduate and postgraduate schools at top tier universities were considered equal. Does anyone know which school would be the better choice? I have to make a decision within the next couple of days.
