+1 Great alumni network, and the school seems warm and approachable. Excellent academics, too. |
LACs have been shown to be higher producers of PhDs across subjects than large research universities, so they would seem lower risk. |
Help-JMU or Syracuse? STEM major. MD resident. |
|
Syracuse if you want a little more prestige. Either if you just want to enjoy your college experience. |
+1 and I’m not Catholic or religious at all. |
UIUC OOS
UMD OOS William and Mary instate Virginia Tech Honors College instate CS Major |
For real? Syracuse. |
Virginia Tech |
UIUC if money is not an issue. UIUC is likely to have fewer distributional requirements than VT. |
Attending UIUC will cost about $100,000+ more over four years compared to Virginia Tech. Is it worth the extra expense? |
+1--also from someone who is not Catholic or religious at all. Friends of DC who've gone to Northwestern report it is actually pretty grind-y. The quarter system leaves no room for error (as the quarters are so short and intense) and a lot of classes are graded on a curve, which results in serious, unpleasant competition among students. I'd go ND, esp, given $ savings. Plus, President Bartlett went to ND and seemed to do pretty well with politics . |
Shit for history/politics/IR why not GW? |
One of the instate options, whichever campus is the better fit for your student. Great choices! |
Yale
USC For humanities, arts |
