[quote=Anonymous]OP is wrong to suggest Maryland is bad for international affairs: they have two prestigious critical language flagship programs — in Persian and Arabic — and a graduate of either program would be far better prepared for an international career than any school mentioned, with the possible exception of Georgetown.

OP, you do realize, unlike in most other countries, that doing well at a respectable undergraduate school in the United States — which Maryland most certainly is — means you can easily go to prestigious graduate schools, right? I am not trying to be condescending: I have international and immigrant relatives who are very educated but have no clue about this.

She will do very well in her GREs for graduate school, as this highly correlates with SATs; as long as she has good college grades she can get a graduate degree in foreign service at Georgetown or Johns Hopkins. She will likely get into one and, if not, definitely be able to get into Columbia, Tufts, or Harvard (the second tier). You are overthinking this. William and Mary is not worth the 47k oos tuition. Yeah, Georgetown is probably worth it, but certainly not W&M.[/quote]
