congrats. I don't know much about these two schools although I also applied for acc. Phd this year. My guess is Washington U is better given its overal reputation and its b-school reputation.

Washington U is better both overall ranking and B- school ranking. But how about acct. Phd. program? The acct. faculty at GW seems very strong too.

Did you know any acc. Prof. in other schools or even from these two schools? You can ask any current PhD students for comparison.  My experience is if you tell the school you are choosing between two schools, they will tell you the differences. However, you must be aware that they want you to go there and therefore they will usually say positive things about their own school. But you can then evaluate the school with those information.

Another good way is to check their research area and your own interest. You definetely want to go to a school where you can find some good professors or famous authors in your area. To do this, you can look at their publications and see if they are active in recent years.

Let's keep contact!
