[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chicago for Econ no doubt.

Georgetown doesn't have a good program. There business school is .. okay, but very pre-pro. Georgetown is really only great for SFS at the moment.

Georgetown business program ranks very highly.

What business program isn’t pre-pro?[/quote]

just saying depending on what kind of Econ the kid wants, the GU program is either for him or not. Their business school is good, but it's a business school. [/quote]

OP didn’t say the kid wants Econ…wants business internships (but unsure what to study).

OP: Yes, he wants to major in Econ. At least right now (I wouldn't be shocked if he changes his mind during college, but we'll see). I don't think he'd be bummed about a pre-pro environment, though I personally see a lot of good in a liberal arts education. What appeals to me about Chicago (as a parent) is that it seems like both a liberal arts education plus good professional opportunities. GU is probably a little foreign service-y for a kid who hasn't really showed any interest in that.[/quote]

Everything you’ve said seems to lean toward Chicago, but I noted you said he prefers DC for the location. It’s hard to know when you are 18, but if there is some sort of preference for ending up in DC after school versus Chicago I would take that into account as well. Georgetown grads are everywhere here.[/quote]
