[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally consider a Georgetown BA and also a JD at the law center to be fairly prestigious credentials. But I don’t know anything about the GU MBA. How it is perceived locally and also in other major cities for those planning to relocate?[/quote]

Is Georgetown Law really considered more prestigious than its MBA counterpart? I know it's technically considered a T14 (even though it has dropped out of the T14 for multiple non-consecutive years), but its outcomes aren't typically on par with their so-called T14 peer group. Cornell Law, for instance, typically ranked 13, sends close to 80% of its class into Big Law jobs (i.e. Cravath-scale-paying firms where 1st year associates make $250,000 a year). Georgetown Law, which graduates nearly 600 each year (compared to UChicago, Yale, or Stanford which each graduate less than 200 attorneys for each class), usually sends only half of their class into Big Law, and typically less prestigious firms (probably won't find too many Georgetown grads at Watchell or Sullivan & Cromwell).

A lot of Georgetown Law grads are interested in government/policy/nonprofit work. That likely accounts for the discrepancy in Big Law placement.[/quote]
