[quote=Anonymous]My perception is Georgetown &gt; Emory &gt;&gt; Boston College

Georgetown’s strengths are in it’s SFS and other DC-centric areas. It also has going for it that it’s the “best” school in town. Emory seems well-rounded and I have liked the grads I met. I think having a real campus while being in a large city is a plus. That said I really don’t know what undergraduate programs Emory is known for — so the well-rounded nature is also a potential drawback. Boston College has a nice campus but is also close to an urban area, but I categorize it in a tier a smidge below Georgetown and Emory. It certainly is not a regional school, but it just doesn’t have the national reach the others on this list do.

All of that said, I would pick Georgetown for Dc-centric fields and the most economical of the three for anything else. DC, Boston and Atlanta are also very different cities. I actually think the vibes of the three are similar — private, not too small, some sports, city access and on the preppier/conformist side of the spectrum. Given that, I could see how a student could be considering all three. [/quote]
