Congrats again on both admits. Stern would be the Program of choice for finance.

Georgetown is a top 20 undergrad in the country and very well known, especially in DC. However the business school is not as highly ranked.

Attending stern will allow you to mix in network with other finance professionals, most probably somewhat unhappy about their jobs :-), but still finance professionals.

However if you’re planning to go back to DC, even though nationally week, Georgetown will be a trump card in the district or around. (Note the lower case spelling please :-) )

Yeah I appreciate the insight it sucks bc the ppl at gtown seemed way more human but I guess I'm used to the self loathing narcissistic breeding ground that is sell side finance haha but who knows luckily I have until the 15th of July to pull the trigger

Using a general market theory, I can say that schools seem to attract a fairly similar types of individuals and create a fairly similar student body type. Sometimes, our impressions are different however, depending on which individuals we meet first and in what setting (this is esp true about the Admitted Students weekends). However, at the end of the day, when you settle in and 6 weeks into the program, you realize, that things are different, nobody is pretending anymore, nobody is insecure, and everyone is more or less normal themselves, you find your people - either party folks or the quieter type or the family type or the international or the sensitive, or army veterans, and so on and on. It is just the first impression that's different.

Where did you decide to attend? I’m faced with the same problem, but for their EMBA programs. Culturally, I think G-Town is the best fit, but Stern has a strong network and brand.
