I got admitted into both schools (LLM).
Now I'm stuck in a dilemma of decision.
Cornell is better recognized in my country, and it's one of the IVY. But it's location is a main concern for me.
Georgetown have smaller classes, and the direction of Securities and Financial Regulations is so attractive. Maybe there'll be more oppotunities in a city like Washington DC.
If to study securties and corporate law in US, which of the two will be better with regard to the LLM experience and future career? Cornell sure has a fabulous reputation for its academic quality.
Any of your opinion will be highly appreciated. Thank you so much, guys!

I'd choose Georgetown.
I am facing a similar dillema. But between Berkeley and Georgetown (also securities and financial regulation)...
