[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Full pay with in-state for W&M and UVA? They would be good options in that case. [/quote] This. As PP stated, these would provide great undergrad education and save money for grad. I love BC, I just don't think it's worth $120K more than W&M or UVA.[/quote]

I think both Georgetown and [b]maybe Hopkins[/b] justify the tuition over in-state and that major/area.

Pomona is Pomona and would be for other reasons than major.[/quote]

Hopkins is a T10 and Georgetown is not. If anything I’d reverse this and say Hopkins and maybe Georgetown justify the tuition.[/quote]

Yeah, but the kid wants govt/policy/IR/politics. Gtown is better for that undergrad. And the internships are right down the road. Most kids in those majors intern DURING the school year, during the week around their classes.

I would not choose Gtown undergrad over Hopkins for that --and am a Hopkins alum.  I really don't think our T10 is going to last.  10 years ago we weren't in T10. All of the massive DEI and First Gen pushes and other initiatives moved the needle. If anything, since Test are still optional at Hopkins there has been a serious watering down in student body--palpable according to alum friends that work there.

Gtown with its scores required has a much stronger student body.  People forget that Test required weeds out like 20-30k that would have applied to begin with.  The selectivity is not what it appears.  They also aren't on common app.  I know EA--GU A&S had a 5% acceptance rate.  GU's overall acceptance rate is more like 6-7% when you factor in that they have already pre-weeded out applicant numbers.[/quote]
