[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not a UVA alum or fan, but I think UVA is comparable or superior in both Ugrad and Grad.

Georgetown has halo bias in DC, but rest of country does not see a difference.[/quote]

If you pay the difference, don't do it for the prestige. Georgetown is not that big of a deal outside of DC.[/quote]

I think there is a bit of GU hate on this board.  Georgetown is certainly well regarded across the country and having lived in different parts of the country I would confidently say that it is held in higher regard than UVA.  But for me personally it wouldn't be worth the cost premium but I have no idea where your child's interests lie.....which I would hope would factor into the equation.[/quote]

Sorry to blow your bubble but most outside DC will not know the nuanced difference among many schools in that area - except possibly JHU and Naval Academy - both in Maryland. [/quote]

But Georgetown is a nationally recognized name, and people on the other side of the country may not know much about it, but they have heard of it and have some idea that it is "good".  The kind of nuanced difference people in other parts of the country would have difficulty with is knowing that University of Virginia is different from any other state's flagship such as University of Arizona or University of South Carolina.
