[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]If cost is not a concern, do GWU. Better location for internships and networking opportunities with the faculty. [/quote] GW grad, don’t agree. Not better enough to justify extra cost relative to VT or WM.[/quote] Then you didn't hustle enough. We have plenty of year-round GW interns where I work. We only see W&M interns in the summer and then they're competing with everyone else.[/quote] I got plenty of internships when I was at GW, idiot. And then when I graduated, my coworkers attended non-DC schools like VT and UVA, showing that it absolutely was not necessary to pay GW prices to have a year-round internship in order to get an IR job.[/quote] Better to save $ undergrad in a good undergrad public- WM UVA program —and then go to SAIS, Walsh, Harvard, etc for grad degree. Save the $ undergrad [/quote] Toying with that because Georgetown is so expensive- but in this field it is #1. Better than ivies for IR.[/quote] Yeah you’ll really see that investment paying off when your Georgetown IR grad lands that first job making $45k lmao.[/quote] +1. DP. You LMAO, but you make an important point. We encouraged our very serious about IR kid to go to WM because she (well we, but her 529) can pay for that plus most or all of a Masters from Georgetown, GW, etc.— as in no loans. Since many IR jobs that give you amazing experience (federal government, nonprofit, Fulbright and other fellowships, NGOs, even Peace Corp type things) are low/ lower paid, a kid without loans has a lot more options in choosing their first job. Even if you defer loans, the interest keeps accruing. And as much as I’d love to see public sector student loan forgiveness, it’s not a given. It’s a huge plus to be able to take the job that gives you amazing experience without the pressure of loans. [/quote]
