Politics, Econ. Maybe middle eastern studies, but possibly policy or journalism or higher ed so can’t look took narrowly.

Georgetown will be full fare even when my second kid starts in two years, which seems crazy even if it’s possibly the best academically. ND would come down. The others are manageable from the jump

Some undergrad degree programs can be completed in just 3 years at LSE. Does LSE offer both a BA and a BS program for economics ? Important for those with budgetary constraints intent on earning a graduate degree.

Without more information, LSE, Notre Dame, and Davidson should receive strong consideration.

Rating your option:

1) LSE
2) Notre Dame
3) Davidson
4) Georgetown SFS
5) lowest cost-of-attendance school.

Truthfully, I cannot imagine one turning down LSE, Notre Dame, Davidson, or Georgetown SFS in favor of SUNY-Bing, Denison, or Wisconsin based on the information (majors & cost) shared by the OP.

Davidson is the best school on the list, rankings wise. So I'd go w/ that. I'd remove Georgetown from the list because it's too $$$ when you have other options that are just as good/better and cheaper. I'd remove Denison, Bing, and WI from the list since you have better options.

My list would be:

1) Davidson
2) notre dame
3) LSE

Dp, but this is insane. Davidson is really tiny and not very well known. I’d fo with Georgetown SFS, or Notre Dame.

It’s also a more selective school w a higher caliber of students.

Do you know how to google? Davidson has a higher acceptance rate than both Notre Dame and Georgetown, and lower average SATs (despite being test optional)

Despite being test optional - being the operative term. Thanks though.

What? You were the one claiming Davidson has better stats. It doesn’t by any measure.

Do you cherry pick the results you want to see?

By what metric would Davidson be better than ND?

Not admissions rate, not test scores or class rank, not salaries

New poster here. DS accepted to all 3. Chose Davidson because of its environment - D1 sports, collaborative, rigorous academics, super happy and friendly student body. He disliked the intense and competitive club culture at Georgetown and couldn’t stomach South Bend. He now works in investment banking in NYC one year out.

Standardized test scores at Davidson may well be lower but that is likely the result of its D1 athletics program. Although less than 30% of students participate, that’s still a relatively large proportion of a 2,000 student body. This year, the admission rate is on par with both Georgetown and ND. Last year it was about 14.5%. You will not find a smarter or kinder group of kids at any school. I loved Georgetown for my kid, but it’s filled to the brim with sharp elbowed NYers. That just wasn’t what DS was looking for; admitted students’ day decided it for him. Never looked back — it was the best decision he could have made.

I second this. My DD chose Davidson for many of these reasons also, as well as its excellence in undergraduate teaching (#6 USNWR), happy students (#5 Niche), and tough-to-beat location (idyllic campus + postcard-worthy college town, on edge of major "hot" metro area...with its own lake campus).

This all may be so but someone upthread repeatedly claimed Davidson was more selective than Georgetown and Notre Dame. That is false.

Are you u dear the impression that Notre Dame and Georgetown compete in fewer D1 sports than Davidson.

Small schools with 30%+ athletes is a problem for a lot of kids, unless you’re an athlete

Yeah co-sign. I can see why anyone might pick Davidson or LSE or ND or Georgetown SFS .. of course. But Davidson is not the best school on this list from a rankings stand point.
