[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're gonna get into Georgetown from NOVA you're also going to get into UVA.  Why pay double for Georgetown when UVA is a better school?  [/quote]
Well, one of the reasons being that's not necessarily true, especially in the humanities and international affairs (which are ironically UVA's strength compared to other publics)

Georgetown is also much smaller, located in a great part of DC, attracts a very large number of students from across the world that tend to be political/financial elites of their respective countries.

Much better than attending a school full of rural public school kids who can't keep up, 66% in-state and the rest being upper-middle-class suburbanites from NYC metro.

[b]If tuition and cost of living are not an issue, these are very good reasons to attend Georgetown over UVA.[/b] [/quote]

UVA is 34k a year in state.  Georgetown is 76k.  Georgetown has a paltry endowment, a tiny campus, and is largely populated by Ivy League rejects.  It is not known in broad academic circles as better than UVA.  They're considered peer institutions.  Even if money isn't an issue, there's no reason to attend Georgetown over UVA.    [/quote]

Georgetown is plainly a better school and you plainly have a large chip on your shoulder. [/quote]
