[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GW is worth the money for IR and poli sci. It’s harder to make the case for other courses of study—at least if you’re paying full freight.[/quote]

It really shouldn’t have taken a page and a half to get to this comment, but here we are. I’m still not sure I would do full pay at GW over UVA or W&M in-state for IR or poli sci, but if money was no consideration then, yeah, [b]GW is better and worth it.[/quote][/b]

Disagree and USNWR agrees with me. Poli Sci at UVA is ranked 26-28 in the nation. GWU is at 38. My kid was a PPL (politics, Philophy and Law major) at UVA.  I know the courses she took and read the syllabis and was most impressed - I'm comparing it to my own experience at top SLAC which helped to get me into a T3 law school. DD was involved in three political clubs, Larry Sabato's Crystal
ball and debate with the Jefferson Society. Every summer she had a politically-related internship, first with a think tank, then an internship with a top Senator, then a very rigorous competitive political program (free to her) in DC. She had superlative letters from UVA faculty (I saw two of them) and a UVA law prof rec where she had taken a class. She graduated with distinction and her UVA record and those LORs got her into a politics program at Oxbridge and then full scholarship. She is now active in the student union there and knows MPs and former prime ministers and otgers who come to speak She is applying to T9 law schools now. We couldn't be more pleased and grateful for in-state tuition. Yes she/we were lucky.[/quote]
