[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Georgetown and Cal tied? That's absurd.  [/quote]

30% of Cal students are low income (Pell Grant), just 12% of Georgetown students are low income. When USNWS changed the methodology to account for outcomes for low-income students, it was inevitable that schools like UCLA (36%) and Cal (30%) would benefit and schools like Georgetown (12%) and Wash U. (10%) would suffer.

The real eye opener is that Georgetown, a Jesuit University, ranks so poorly in supporting low-income students.

Not to me.  That school shed its Jesuit and Catholic identity along time ago.

Georgetown promotes this idea of greatness.  It's a facade.  The school is a pressure cooker with little support for students who burn out frequently.  The campus is disgusting - full of rundown and rodent-infested buildings with a deferred maintenance list that probably rivals Metrorail.  Leadership is incompetent. Faculty is underpaid.[/quote]

Strong language, but as an alum, I regrettably agree.[/quote]
