Georgetown SFS vs USC Marshall Undergraduate

Hello all,

I got into Georgetown's School of Foreign Service and USC's business school. I know that I most likely want to break into management consulting upon graduation, so I wanted to know which one would you consider best for that? If I change my mind about MC, which would probably have better options for similar careers?

I'm leaning towards Gtown right now because I'd study International Politics or Global Business, and I'd be much more interested in the curriculum because enjoy politics a lot.

 

Georgetown does place extremely well, even if you are not in the business school. If cost is the same for both schools, then it sounds like Gtown is the school for you. However, USC has a pretty good international business program, and even offers the World Bachelor in Business major and a number of other international opportunities. You also can't beat being in LA and USC's campus.

I can only tell you about opportunities though, and it seems like Gtown offers those. If you look at Gtowns placement, 100-150 students go into consulting or somewhere around that. The point is, it has really good placement. I would advise you to also look on Poets and Quants undergrads. They have really good data on each school.

 

USC student here. I’d actually say this is very simple. If you want to end up on the west coast- USC. (USC tends to be more of a consulting than IB school) If you want to end up in NYC- Georgetown. At Georgetown you will be competing with McDonough people which is something to consider.
