FT UCLA vs FT Georgetown

Thankful to be admitted to both programs.

- Georgetown full ride (GI bill + scholarship + yellow ribbon)
- UCLA full ride (GI Bill + scholarship)

Stats:

- Veteran
- 5 YoE military in maritime autonomous systems testing
- 635 GMAT
- 3.4 GPA NESCAC

Long term goal is to place into defense tech, worked directly with private sector firms while testing drone systems/platforms.

Family is from east coast, would ideally place in New England ~0-4 years post-MBA. However, willing to forgo that for career placement in the mid term.

Interested in perspectives, vibed well with both communities via networking events. Seems like some degrees of placement into the industry, but UCLA’s AdCom seems far more put together than GTown’s from anecdotal experience.

Edit:

Interested in LDP’s from larger firms (Raytheon, L3, Textron Defense, ect.)

Smaller firms, interested in operations and RM/growth side of sales.

Worked 1 year in PE industrials shop prior to military.
