Georgetown EMBA vs UVA EMBA. Anyone have pros and cons?

UVA has a slight edge if you went to Georgetown for Undergrad, and the other way around. If neither, it’s a bit of a wash. Darden EMBA has 30% veteran population, Georgetown probably closer to 20%. School brand is better at Georgetown with better international brand as well. Darden is king of MBA in this region though.

I just got accepted to Darden EMBA and I chose them over Georgetown based on the curriculum and schedule. Once a month residency sounded more manageable than every other week at Georgetown. I have small children so that was a big factor.
