[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of the Ivies are great, but I think only Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Wharton are really differentiated and worthy of premium over a great state flagship.

For example, the merits of paying full tuition for Penn, Brown, Dartmouth or Cornell over in-state UVA is very ambiguous.[/quote]

depending on major though.  For instance, I would pay full-pay Georgetown for a kid in SFS. It's unprecedented--better than Ivies.[/quote]

I don't think "unprecedented" means quite what you think it does.  [/quote]

:lol: Never in the history of the world has there been such a foreign service school as they now have at Georgetown.[/quote]

well to be fair--it's true for the US. lol

SFS was founded in 1919 — 100 years ago — to prepare the U.S. to engage on the global stage and has been preparing future leaders to make the world safer, more equitable, more prosperous, and more peaceful ever since. Fr. Edmund A. Walsh’s vision was a school that would prepare students for all major forms of foreign representation — whether commercial, financial, consular or diplomatic. The War Department (now the Department of Defense) requested Walsh's participation on a board comprised of five educators who designed the academic program for the Student Army Training Corp. The Training Corp educated new military personnel to prepare for America’s entry into the First World War.

This experience drew his attention to the lacking American education in diplomacy, which helped shape Fr. Walsh’s conception of the SFS. He realized Georgetown University, with its DC location and values of service,[b] would be the ideal home for the United States’ first school in international affairs.[/b][/quote]

Don't bother.  If the trolls are too stupid to find proper information, don't do their research for them.  We have seen them on other college threads here, they have zero idea what they are talking about, they rarely if ever visit schools in person, and toss out bad information as if anyone with a brain listens to them.  It's a wonder they can tie their own shoes, really.[/quote]
