[quote=Anonymous]If you're thinking that your child might eventually want to be employed in DC, I'd concur about the great internship opportunities if you were at George Mason.  In addition, I've met a lot of working adults in government who have gotten their own graduate degrees in econ, public policy, etc.  at GMU which ought to help out with the name recognition.  Finally, I know that they have top notch programs in two 'hot' topics these days -- biological warfare and cyberwarfare.  The kid who chimed in earlier is right -- the important thing is to find the right school for you to achieve your goals.  Everything else is irrelevant.
I keep thinking how the impossible parents who are concerned about the prestige of the school, bragging rights etc.  are going to react when their kids get engaged, married, etc.  Are they all going to be like the Princeton mom, concerned that the potential spouse doesn't have the right pedigree?  My dad was like that until I reminded him that I was the person who would have to wake up next to the person every day for the rest of my life, not him.[/quote]
