[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what makes a great school is highly subjective. I have not been one to pay any attention to rankings, they mean diddly squat to me personally.

My son is applying early to GW, because he fell in love with the school, for many reasons most of which the program he is interested in is one of their higher ranked programs. He is an excellent student with a high GPA and very strong test scores, he could apply to higher ranked schools but felt GW was a good fit and he loves the city. I disagree respectfully that it is not thought of highly across the board...I digress but lets just agree to disagree. Certainly not worth arguing about. Bottom line there is a school out there for everyone.[/quote]

School reputation is not subjective, sorry. There are probably schools for everyone but not all of them have great reputations. GW IS NOT thought of highly, sorry. You can agree to disagree all you want, but it's a fact.[/quote]

NP here. Do not agree but not getting involved in the banter. I am a GW alum and my daughter just started her second year there with much success and enthusiasm. She graduated #12 in her class of 124 and I am a successful psychologist with a large solo practice. Please be careful and mindful about insulting those of any institution and generalizing. That kind of ignorance antagonistic behavior is what gets people angry. Agree to disagree. You are certainly entitled to your opinion and I think most people would think if not all that a schools reputation is indeed VERY subjective.[/quote]

I find it strange well supposedly successful people are so defensive when their shitty school is brought up, and the shittier the school, the more worked up they get. Haven't you moved beyond that or you are still carrying a chip on your shoulder? You could clearly get some use of some therapy yourself.[/quote]

I agree with this. OP should be proud of the fact that she has done so well despite going to a shitty school - it is a testament to her abilities. When she seeks to defend said shitty school, it only calls her judgement into question.[/quote]
