Good evening Guys!!
So, I just CRUSHED my interview at Georgetown. I even got a "WOW" out of my interviewer. (....If they do that for everyone please don't tell me. let me have this.)
That said, I read through a few threads regarding recruiting from Carnegie Mellon vs. Georgetown and still can't make up my mind. I'm looking for any sort of guidance. Despite the difference in the MBA rankings, neither program seems to win out over the other when it comes to actually getting a job.
Anyway, to give some background: As the title states, I'm a 7 year veteran who has served his contract with the Army. I did my time and I'm done. I now have the means (and rigor) to pursue an MBA and try to work in a field that I am passionate about. I love the capital markets and trading is a personal hobby of mine that I have invested a large amount of time into learning over the past decade. So, naturally, I'm trying to get into AM or S&T. I really have little desire to run down the IB route (it honestly sounds exactly like what I do now on a General Officer's staff but with much better pay). That being said, it looks like it comes down to S&T at CMU or AM at Georgetown.
I know these posts are a dime a dozen but any crumbs of advice are graciously welcomed.

Congrats on your admits!!!
Tepper has traditionally carried more weight in tech than finance. Georgetown is finance heavy - probably capital one and other DC firms providing a steady pull for those jobs. Interesting enough, McDonough placed almost 30% into finance last year - surprised me, frankly.
It’s hard to predict the recruiting paths But I think for your industries, you’re looking at off-campus recruiting for both of these programs.
Try to connect with veterans at both programs and see what the scoop is.
PS. When in doubt, usually a top 17 school will outweigh a top 25 one.

I actually live in pittsburgh now so if I still would have to off campus recruit then that makes my decision all the easier. THANK YOU
