[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we can all agree that Georgetown is one of the most overrated schools.[/quote]

I'm not sure overrated is the right term.  I just don't think Georgetown will provide advantages over UVA or William and Mary to people in NOVA.  Perhaps the biggest advantage would be internships in D.C. during the school year, but I believe both UVA and William and Mary have programs that enable this.

If you want to be in DC, all three schools carry equal and considerable connections and weight.  That Georgetown has more alums in high places in foreign governments is irrelevant.  There is no reason for a NOVA kid to pay more than double for Georgetown.   [/quote]

You UVA boosters are a pathetic bunch.[b] Georgetown kids mix with far wealthier and more connected kids than the average UVA kid. Only if your kid is a shoo-in for a top tier sorority or fraternity in Charlottesville will they be in a similar orbit. Those connections last a lifetime. And will influence not only your kid's career but the social circle they meet their spouse in as wel[/b]l.[/quote]

Funny, when it's a UVA detractor, UVA suddenly becomes poor, which is a negative compared (allegedly) to UVA.  But when they want to detract from UVA then they claim falsely that it's a bunch of rich kids.

Nevertheless, for the Georgetown person who started this thread to bash on UVA, I think we get it.  Sour grapes.  I think you're done.  Georgetown has been on a downward slope for some time.  And why haven't you mentioned the slaves owned and sold by the Jesuits while we're at it? And the filthy dorms? And the costs?

UVA has plenty of kids from all walks of life which is why it is a great PUBLIC school. Georgetown is private and $77K a year.  My sister went to Georgetown and the Law School.  She didn't like it and thought it a huge waste of money but she lived in D.C. and didn't have good in-state options.  Stop bashing UVA during a crisis year when many families are really really counting on getting into one of the top Virginia schools because they were financially slammed.  You are coming off incredibly elitist and entitled.[/quote]
Claiming OP started this thread to bash UVA is rather weird consider the OP has absolutely no mention of UVA, and its UVA boosters that came into this thread to bash on Georgetown for some reason - two schools that really don't attract the same type of student. [/quote]
