Wisconsin vs. Georgia

Hello, 

I am a senior in high school finalizing my college list. Having trouble distinguishing between University of Wisconsin Madison and University of Georgia. Does anyone have any insight into which one places better? Does Wisconsin place into Chicago?

I'm from the southeast, so I may have some bias here, but I think it's easily UGA here, but that it only if you are able to get involved with Corsair Society/SMIF. My UGA friends who are in these clubs have placed at strong banks pretty easily, but getting into them is difficult. You may need to know an older guy that's involved or something. I don't know much about UW/Chicago, but that's my 2 cents on UGA

 

They're pretty even in terms of representation from my experience. That being said, I'd probably think about where you want to end up. Madison has better connectivity into Chicago, while UGA has better representation in the Southeast. For cities like NYC, SF, I think you'll find it somewhat equivalent, at least from my vantage point.
