[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last year, my history-loving kid with 4.6 wgpa, 12 APs, 35 ACT but weak on ECs, wanted an international affairs major and his top 3 choices were:

1. Georgetown School of Foreign Service (did not get in).
2. International affairs major in the Dual Degree Programme offered by W&M and St Andrews in Scotland (got in, but declined).
3. George Washington Elliott School of International Affairs (got in, loved it, is attending).

He was accepted at others (McGill, UMD, St John's College in Annapolis) and got in, but they were not specialized in his major, so they were safeties of sorts.

He worked really hard on his essays, BTW. I feel that for a Humanities major, that's a must. The Dual Degree Programme required a separate 1500 word essay on an international affairs topic.

I also have a history loving kid with a strong interest in govt/International relations too.

I agree with the 3 listed above.  My kid also was accepted to UVA which is strong in history/politics as well.

Here are the schools strong in international relations:
Georgetown, Yale, Brown, Tufts, UPenn, Hopkins, Univ SC, Stanford, GW, William & Mary.  He applied to all of those except Stanford and U SC.
He added Princeton and Dartmouth.
So far he's in at Georgetown, UVA and W&M sent him the cypher card.  He likes all 3 of those schools a lot.  We will see...

OP. Is that South Carolina or USC?

Those other schools seem a long way off for my 3.8 public school kid…He’s smart but not hooked, and his GPA has been tempered by B’s in math. [/quote]

California[/quote]

Oh that’s his dream school [/quote]
