<p>I don’t see Minnesota anywhere on the list, Gtown is #24</p>
<p>Number of companies recruiting at Georgetown: 143
Number of companies recruiting at Minnesota: 95</p>
<p>Mean base salary after graduation- Georgetown: $ 55,913
Mean base salary after graduation at Minnesota: $ 49,169</p>
<p>I’ll be attending Gtown in the fall, so I’m a little biased, and while I will admit that Minnesota has top-notch theatre and arts scenes, Washington DC is far, far from a cultural cesspool. If he was deciding purely on the arts scene, than Minneapolis would indeed have a slight edge, but this far from the most important factor. It’s kind of a moot point because DC also has a thriving arts scene that rivals many top notch cities.</p>
<p>That being said, I think, as an aspiring business student, it’s easy to tell that DC offers tons opportunities in the way of internships and employment. I don’t know about Minnesota, but Georgetown has an incredible record of scoring their students top internship positions, and it’s one of the major reasons students select Georgetown over other elite schools. In fact, many bankers are now saying that, in the wake of the recession, Washington DC has become the new financial capital of the United States.</p>
<p>Both are good, and you really can’t go wrong, but if you’re truly intent on pursuing business as a career path, I think Georgetown holds the advantage.</p>
