[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eh. Georgetown is full of self righteous stuck up kids.  Definitely choose another school.  How about Washington University in St. Louis or Duke?[/quote]

Wash U is never a first choice for any kid.  There's not a student there who didn't apply to and get rejected from the Ivy League.  It's also one of the least socioeconomically diverse schools in the country.  And it drops every year in the rankings.

No thanks.[/quote]

Wow, what did WashU ever do to you?? For the record, it was MY kid's first choice school, she didn't apply to any Ivies, and she's been admitted Early Decision 1. It's a great school, as are many other colleges ranked lower and higher, so get over yourself. And I'm very happy to hear your kid isn't going there.

And as to diversity...

Wash U demographics:
47.57% are white and not multiracial,
34.50% are Asian,
10.48% are black or African American,
7.81% are Hispanic or Latino,
1.29% are American Indian or Alaska Native,
2.58% are Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and
(7.42% are unreported).

Georgetown U demographics:
50.7% White 
7.83% Asian 
7.51% Hispanic or Latino, 
7.2% Black or African American, 
3.02% Two or More Races, 
0.11% Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders
0.105% American Indian or Alaska Native.
