[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not good enough to get into ivies? HYP maybe but certainly not other lower ivies.  Then again, you can say the same thing about those lower ivies.

Isn’t connecting with the elite one of the benefits to go to ivies people often point out?  Why does it become a negative at GTown?

Weak at STEM?  Do you refer to graduate school or undergrad?  GTown’s programs is no better or worse than those at elite liberal arts colleges that are highly regarded here.  Majoring in science at undergrad at GTown will get you into places e.g. top medical schools and graduate schools. [/quote]

The Ivies not only provide a space to intermingle with the elite- they give tons of opportunities and funding which Georgetown struggles to give due to its low endowment. And I'm confident the teaching/individual attention is much better at the LAC. The elite ones are the top feeders to STEM PhD programs, and their students win competitive science fellowships (Apker, Goldwater, Churchill, NSF Grad Fellowships) at relative and absolute rates even better than some of the Ivies. Georgetown isn't much of a feeder at all. The science facilities are seriously outdated and the undergraduate demand for a strong STEM program pales in comparison to virtually any top school out there.[/quote]
