[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, what specifically is a "match" about Georgetown? Catholicism? Location? Size? Type of student that attends? Similar academic strengths?

I went to Georgetown and worked at Boston College for several years. I think they are very similar. Jesuit, large metro area (tho BC's campus is more suburban than Georgetown's), pretty pre-professional in vibe, attract similar students.

Santa Clara and Fordham would other Jesuit universities to consider. St. Louis U or Marquette for safeties. Villanova is Catholic, medium sized, suburban campus outside of Philly, maybe a little more conservative.

Non-Catholic universities that are similar to Georgetown in the sense they are in a metro area (either urban or just outside a city), medium size, more pre-professional in feel, largely attract ambitious, smart, conventional students: 
Wash U in St. Louis
Northwestern
Tulane
Penn
Vandy
Duke
Emory
U of Miami

Notre Dame and UVA if large metro is negotiable (UVA a little bigger than desired size).[/quote]

Thank you so much!

And thank you to all for the suggestions.

TBH, Rice and Emory weren't on his original list because we assumed they were mostly STEM.

Also really appreciate the California suggestions. Really helps narrow things down. DC wanted to write off CA altogether and I know nothing about west coast.

I appreciate ALL posters for participating!!!!

I know this may have seemed like an obvious question, but it's all been pretty overwhelming. School support has been underwhelming. I guess we expected too much from counselor?

Thanks again. Hope good karma comes everyone's way. [/quote]
