Since Georgetown University didn’t even admit women until 1969, yes it has to do with the location. They are next to each other.

Surprised they aren’t going somewhere where they could get a better quality Mrs.

Gor most private school DMV parents that’s what they’ve been paying for high school. Our DC is looking at several SEC schools. Good grades and scores, but not a small, liberal arts school kid. These schools are fun, and frankly what is wrong with that? Sports spirit, school pride, alumni pride and participation after graduation, range of majors, etc. I do think they probably appeal to the extroverted kids more. In my experience, extroversion is often a key factor to career success. But it depends what you’re interested in doing. And if we are really honest, a lot of kids in private school here have parents who are very wealthy and have considerable connections for internships and their first real job. These days, that can make a huge difference. And, sure, there’s a set at most schools that may be interested in what used to be called an MRS degree. While that was far from my interests, as I have gotten older, I’m not sure what’s wrong with a woman wanting to be a stay at home mom, have a good marriage, and raise a family? A lot of private school parents include a stay at home parent, so that’s what they’ve seen. Even though many of these moms are well educated and had careers. No judgement from me on that, it’s a perfectly valid choice.

I think we're also going to hear more about people sending their sons to schools to get Mr. degrees too--though due to stigma it may not be explicitly acknowledged. It may just be a thought in the back of parents' minds perhaps for their attractive, fun-loving, bright but not terribly ambitious in careers sons. If you send your son to a school where the competition for the young women to get in is greater than it is for men (e.g., SLACs, W&M) he may end up riding on a more ambitious woman's coattails a bit, and she may be looking for someone who could be a great dad/collaborative partner who shares the house load more, rather than a high earner. I think the son might initially just like the idea that the odds of finding a girlfriend are good at a school that is 60% women/40% men but once he sees how smart and ambitious the women are, he might realize there are financial benefits as well. Another perfectly valid choice.

Where can my non-ambitious DS who will barely graduate HS get one of these Mr. degrees? He is very good-looking, which I assume will help.

Pp’s logic doesn’t work because the schools that are optimal to get mr. Degrees won’t let in those type of guys in the first place.
