[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has all been helpful.  
Thank you. 
It’s a tough call. 
First choice was UVA - deferred.  
Georgetown and Michigan are very different.  That is part of the problem.  
And we live in Arlington- very close to Georgetown - so in a sense it doesn’t feel like going away.   [/quote]

Georgetown undergrad and UMich MBA alum here. Both are great schools!

I would make the decision based on the following:

1.  Is ability to pay tuition going to be an issue?  
2.  Do you prefer an urban (Georgetown) or suburban (Ann Arbor) environment?
3.  Do you want to go into a field that one school is known for being among the best at: government or international affairs (Georgetown), scientific research (Michigan), sustainability (Michigan), business (either, but Michigan has stronger direct career placement), law (either), performing arts (Michigan)?
4.  Do you want a fraternity/sorority or sports dominated social scene (Michigan)?
5.  Will you feel too anonymous at a large school, in which case, go Georgetown all the way?
6. Would you mind if you knew that appx 50% of your classmates came from private high schools (Georgetown)?
