<p>my options are Washington University in St. Louis, Emory, Georgetown, NYU Stern. Which do you think will be the best college experience/business education?</p>
<p>If you’re looking at straight academics and career options, NYU would probably be best due to its NYC location. Business Week has their undergraduate business school rankings at <a href=“Businessweek - Bloomberg”>Businessweek - Bloomberg; which you’re free to compare with USNWR, which has different rankings of the schools (Georgetown is much higher than in USNews, Carnegie Mellon is much lower, etc.).</p>
<p>I’m in the business program here, and love it. I turned down NYU since I didn’t want the city atmosphere for college, and turned down Emory since I liked the business program here better, and Emory’s program is (or maybe not anymore) a junior-year entry program. I chose Wash U for the school + the atmosphere, and I think the atmosphere is a big part of the experience.</p>
<p>How’s the atmosphere at Wash U?
I was a bit worried about the business week rankings, because WashU had A+ academics and facilities while job placement was a B or something.</p>
<p>The undergraduate is not the end of your education or career choices.
You should go to the school for the overall educational experience and academic excellence. Then you work a few years, and go to Wharton or Stanford or Harvard or Stern for your MBA.</p>
