[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Georgetown. I went to neither (but went to a peer graduate program) and feel very strongly that Georgetown has a stronger undergraduate program. I also think the direct matriculation program is a turn-off to employers. At my graduate program, maybe one student a year was admitted directly from undergraduate, and they had typically done something before starting undergraduate, like military service. The best graduate programs are going to have folks who are practitioners, or have at least some on-the-ground knowledge of what it is actually like to live and work abroad. The SAIS joint matriculation program cheats those kids by not giving them the chance to bring their own experiences to the table in the classroom, making the MA program just an extension of undergraduate. [/quote] great point - didn't think of that. [/quote]
