Just curious, if you had a choice between Georgetown business school and Texas BHP, which would you choose and why?

well I got into Texas Business but Im also applying to Georgetown.

They both have an excellent business program, so it really depends on what youre looking for. If you want for politics involved, Georgetown would be better for you.
I think you should go to their websites and check out their Business Honors program. utexas.edu MSB Home Page - McDonough School of Business

I'm in the MSB, so I'm definitely a HUGE advocate for the MSB.

With that said, UT has a great business program. All the big firms recruit there and I believe they have a top notch accounting program.

All the major firms (and many boutiques) recruiting at Georgetown for finance and accounting jobs. From my experiences, you are going to be very happy if you plan on being finance or accounting majors (at least through OCR).

I'm pretty sure the UT Business Honors Program only accepts 100 or so kids, indicating that you are clearly a top student. I think the UT program would have more to offer, with the Honors specific program for Business.

Does anyone know if "east coast firms" recruit the Texas BHP students as actively as they do students at schools on the east coast?

sophomore12-can you tell us more about MSB? getting into classes, quality of professors, etc.

Happy to provide more details, but can you be more specific on your questions?

Getting into classes - you have MSB core and liberal arts core, and then you take your major classes (but upperclassmen gets first choice on classes for obvious reasons, pretty sure this is standard process)

Quality of professors - definitely great and not so great (as with everywhere), MSB strengths are definitely in Finance and Accounting (can't really comment on other majors too much)
