I think the point of the OP was that a minuscule acceptance rate does not mean that it is the best. Georgetown’s tiny endowment impacts its quality. Students who can get into Georgetown will have lots of other choices. Think about what awaits after admission before making that choice.

What awaits someone who wants to go into government, international non-profit work, etc is an unparalleled education.

Georgetown does an exceptional job, despite its small endowment.

OP is like a dog playing tug of war, or a small, petulant child stomping their feet.

ok you all - this +1, + 3 made me lose count. I wonder why? -- https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1158018.page

Yale can’t claim it just because the name is from a series of lectures by a Jesuit priest at Yale.

LOL, it was a series of lectures that became a book that became a class that was taught for decades. but ..okay..

It was ultimately drawn from Jesuit thought.

Do you seriously need to claim this?

Um, no, it's a copyrighted book. But I don't claim it, I just think it's bizarre when Georgetown alumn talk about their super special only-at-Georgetown class.

You did, though. You said Georgetown stole it from Yale.

“Georgetown took that curriculum from Yale, as you probably know.”

Ok so took, not stole. I know I didn’t go to an Ivy League school, but I can still read.

But sure — Georgetown stole it from Yale.

This is not the flex you think it is. The idea that Yale started w lectures (followed by a class) in 62 and then Georgetown started teaching a class with the same name five years later? Change the name, dummies.

A Jesuit priest gave the lectures at Yale. Yale took his analysis and made it into a course. They were drawing from Jesuit thought the entire time.

You’re really giving Yale a bad name by harping on this and resorting to calling me names.

You clearly do. Is Yale falling so far that you need to boost yourself by pointing out the history of one class?

So glad I turned down Yale for grad school, if you’re representative of the people I would’ve been in class with.

If I told you you wouldn’t believe it anyway. But suffice it to say there were many beautiful spaces and buildings on my campus. My kid is there now. He didn’t apply to Georgetown either. But it had more to do with wanting to be away from DC.

Both Georgetown and BC catfish prospective students with the creative photography of their respective campuses.

Ah yes. No other school hires photographers to make their campuses look especially nice.
