Schools: Stern '23 (A$) McDonough'23 (A$)
I would appreciate any input on choosing McDonough versus Stern for the full-time MBA programs. Some context:
I am a US citizen based in DC, coming from an international development/government background and am interested in transitioning into consulting with a focus on social impact/emerging markets. I'm torn between NYU, which seems to be the better school in terms of rankings and consulting outcomes, and Georgetown, which seems to have a more intensive focus on sustainability and global business as well as good consulting outcomes. I would also likely aim to be in the DC area long-term, so I'm not sure how much that should weigh into my decision since I know both schools have strong alumni networks there. I unfortunately have not been able to visit either school due to COVID, but I get the sense that both have collaborative, down to earth cultures with a diverse pool of globally-minded students.
I am really lucky to have been awarded full-rides to both schools, so financing is not the issue at the moment. I would welcome any thoughts on how to choose!

Wow! Awesome results!
Go with Stern. I would not hesitate really but it is not my life of course 😂
McDonough is a good school but Stern is Going to help you recruit in a number of industries and provide with more options. As an international person, it’s hard to recruit in DC and positions available there.
There are also benefits that Stern enjoys being a higher ranked school such as Having consulting companies/MBB recruit on campus and other perks.
PS. I would start thinking about which companies you would like to work for in the immediate after math or for your internship. That will help you zero in on the roles and provide you opportunities to talk about recruiting with current students and get a sense about opportunities. Congrats!

Oops. Just realized I misread your post as “international person” though I am still thinking Stern would be a better ROI
