Hi everyone,

I'm interested in being in SoCal long term and given that, would love your input about Marshall and Anderson. I understand that Anderson is generally thought to be the more national brand but it seems like both are well respected in Southern California.

How do the two compare? What are key differences in terms of academics, recruiting and reputation that I should consider? If admitted to both, how would you decide? I'm well aware of the difference between the neighborhoods of the two schools and that doesn't affect my considerations.

Also, if it's helpful, I'm a career switcher and am interested in checking out consulting so if either is particular strong there I'd be interested to hear.

Thanks in advance,
