Jon2021 “I am now trying to decide between these two programs and which has better job placement/internships. This is a tough decision as WASHU ranks higher overall, yet Michigan has one of the top business programs (ranked higher than Olin dependent on which ranking you are looking at).”

You need to choose the one that is right for you. However, if you were my student, I think Michigan can open more doors, and I would be nudging you toward Michigan, especially with a pre-admit. Michigan’s business reputation and placement are excellent.

WashU is a good school, but I do not see it as at the level of Michigan outside of Medicine or pre-med. While WashU ranks above Michigan in USNews, I think they focus on taking steps to enhance that specific ranking. Having said that, our WashU visit was very positive, well organized, and they really have a lovely campus and I can see how that might sway some students.

jmho, and I am a Sparty, so you know i am not going to puff up Michigan when they don’t deserve it. lol
