[quote=Anonymous][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]

Emory&gt;=Georgetown&gt;&gt;&gt;BC
Emory is also the best school in its respective town. Georgetown does not have as good of med school placement as Emory and its science programs, especially Bio and Chem, aren't nearly as good. That along with the fact Emory is ranked higher should give Emory a slight advantage or at least put the schools on the same level.  BC is just BC, there are so many better schools in the Northeast that the fact DC could get into them says a lot. [/quote]
