[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA vs Georgetown is one thing. We were surprised to find colleagues who make very high incomes make their kids go to UMD over Georgetown. [/quote]

Why is that surprising if they live in UMD? Then they're not eligible for UVA in state tuition and it's harder to get into OOS.[/quote]

UVA is comparable in rankings with Georgetown. You can argue UVA is ranked higher than Georgetown depending on the ranking so Georgetown may not be worth the extra money.

UMD is not as high as UVA or Georgetown. It is an inferior school.[/quote]

Times world university ranking 2016:
GU- 94
UMD- 117
UVA- 147

Not much difference between them. My point is not that any one of them is better or worse. There are many types of schools and there are many rankings (these heavily weight research). The best school depends what you are looking for. For a kid interested in Math, Physics, Engineering, Computer science, GU would not even be close to UMD.
