If T30-70 schools are not worth the money, what is your DC's college list strategy?

For MC UMC, the college list will include in-state, and then T10/T20 as reach. No buffer zone.

So is Georgetown Emory out the question

And so it begins...

in state kids actions already speak to this

Georgia has Zell Miller, its literally free. Not an apples to apples comparison. Realistically I would be willing to pay double for Emory or Georgetown over Gatech.

You're on your own there. Emory is not desirable for those with options. Georgetown is only slightly more desirable.

DD chose Emory over Cornell. Speak for yourself.

Georgetown is usually considered a T20. I don’t know anything about Emory.

Georgetown School Foreign Service is generally considered the number one international relations program in the country. Georgetown’s government/politics/public policy departments are also generally considered to be some of the strongest in the country.

There are already more than 20 schools in T20 now. Everyone try’s to expand the list further. If Georgetown is in, why not add the equivalents? Tufts has a strong IR program as well.

US News has usually ranked Emory a bit higher than Georgetown but they are similar. Agree that Georgetown School Foreign Service is great.

School of Foreign Service and public policy isnt really impressive. These aren't difficult to be good at unlike being good at health and medicine.

The list has always been T25, this site is just weird. Emory will be T20 next year and they'll move the goal post to T15. The same 7 schools do a marry go round yet posters are trying to split hairs.

Wisconsin and Washington are sitting at the kiddie's table, apparently.

And so it begins...

in state kids actions already speak to this

Georgia has Zell Miller, its literally free. Not an apples to apples comparison. Realistically I would be willing to pay double for Emory or Georgetown over Gatech.

You're on your own there. Emory is not desirable for those with options. Georgetown is only slightly more desirable.

DD chose Emory over Cornell. Speak for yourself.

sure she did. cornell college maybe

My kids had a budget of $50k/yr. Any OOS or private had to potentially provide non-need merit. Kid #1 applied to:
UVA and WM (in-state)
BU, NEU, Lehigh, CWRU
UMD, Ohio St., UMN, Pitt
