[quote=Anonymous]My kid was admitted to Marymount and Catholic.  
They don't want to apply to GMU. We live between these schools, sort of.

My son often practices sports at Marymount and it is a lovely place. 
The students we see when we go there are always smiling and participating in something (there are lots of events, like BBQs) which feels homey. It backs up against a country club's golf course. The Ballston part is about a mile away, so from there, kids can walk to the movies, Chipotle, etc, and the metro is right there if your child gets an internship in DC.

Catholic U is in DC, in an area becoming more "gentrified" and the campus itself feels suburban. It is right near a lot of religious landmarks so the architecture is lovely. The faculty we have spoken with are so supportive, and it has a very good reputation-especially for law School & the arts.

GMU is in Fairfax, which is more like a very developed suburb. There are more concerts and games to attend on campus (think Disney on Ice) and students I know who applied places like VA-Tech also applied to GMU. One of their technology faculty wound up running a program at Harvard.  It is a great jumping off point. They are looking for 3.7-ish GPA. For academics, I'd pick GMU.

If your kid needs small and cozy, Marymount. [/quote]
