[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GW and American are both very good for international relations and politics. And of course you can’t beat the location. [b] Both give generous merit aid. [/b] So is Georgetown, which gives no Merit Aid.  FWIW, WM is also good.

I have a NOVA junior interest in an international relations / politics area and GW, American and WM are on her list, although she probably like to go further from home.  Georgetown is not because $$$$$.

They have very different campuses as PP said, and your kid will likely have a strong preference based on that.  You would definitely want to visit before she chose. [/quote]

What kind of merit aid do they offer?  How much?[/quote]

If you pull the Common Data set, you can see the average award amount and the percent of kids who get non-need based aid.  I know that for NOVA kids with good stats (1450+ SATs, 4.3W GPA, 8+ APs, etc.), you can get the cost down to WM or slightly higher.  Which is what I need to know for my kid to apply.

Understand that the college scenes here is crazy, and that by NOVA standards,  these are not particularly prestigious schools.  With WM and UVA in state, I’d be hard pressed to sign off if it weren’t for foreign policy. [/quote]
