[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many colleges are regionally strong in terms of how people treat their grads.

My F500 employer has a strong "no special snowflakes" vibe right now.  There are people getting good jobs with degrees from schools I'm sure you have never heard of.  They have to prove themselves at the entry level.  After that, project success and EQ take over.[/quote]

Located in the DMV?[/quote]

PP.  No I'm not in the DMV right now but the way people talk about GMU and JMU sounds the same.

Besides, a good student can usually move up a prestige level or two for grad school.

And people often move to the DMV from other states.  So they have places of origin where they could look for such schools.

Are you looking for recs or you just don't believe my point?

My husband went to Georgetown when we were in DMV.  Neither of us were impressed then and it's not in better shape today.  GW seems a little better than when we were there but costs a fortune and American seems like it's fallen off.  I can easily see how some angles could be worked by killing it at lower ranked schools in the area.
