Hello,
I currently live in Atlanta and plan on living in Atlanta after graduation. I want the best education and job prospects I can get, however would it be better to go to the regional powerhouse or go to the best school I can and make my way back to Atlanta? In Atlanta I would be able to network locally which would be a bigger advantage. At NYU for example, wouldn’t I be at a disadvantage because networking and Recruiting is mostly for positions in NYC? Or would getting a job back in Atlanta be no problem from Ithaca, NYC or Charlottesville and worth the move?
Thanks!
For reference I work in Corporate finance and plan on going into consulting.

I personally think it is better to focus on landing an offer from these schools first then along the way make your decisions after holding the admits.
The interactions you conducted with the adcoms would truly tell you which schools suit you personally and professionally.
I knew some people who landed n offer in NYC without the need to study at NYC. In regard to consulting, as long as your schools is one of their target school. You should not be worry.

Congratulations on your admits! JimmyT4
Are all of these offers without a scholarship?
I feel you can leverage your admits to Stern and others in order to get reconsidered for a scholarship. You can check my topic on that in this sub-forum (it is a sticky post)
In terms of job prospects and comparing Stern vs. Emory or others, it depends a bit. One is what kind of a job you are considering looking. E.g. if you are considering MBB and Consulting, I don't know if they do much on campus hiring at Emory and you may be much better off at Darden, Johnson, Stern instead where consulting is a focus and where there is more national employers coming on campus and doing on campus interviews.
I do think that if you are planning to be in Atlanta, it makes sense to consider the school there since it would be a bit inefficient to sell your stuff/break the lease, move, repeat, and move back. Seems like a lot of effort and inefficiencies. At the same time what you are getting for the same price at a Top 10/ Top 15 is likely going to be a very different experience vs. a 100-strong at Emory. Your classmates, your professors, on campus recruiting and resources would be greater and more just simply because those are bigger programs with more alums and money.
I guess one question is - if you are planning to recruit in Atlanta and leverage your network (not leveraging school recruiting), could you do that from Johnson or Darden?
