[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really expensive for what it is. Go to Georgetown if you get in or AU with aid.[/quote]

lol who chooses GW over Georgetown? That is like saying choose Harvard over BU [/quote]
DP.
What about "Go to Georgetown if you get in" don't you understand? And did you mean to switch the two colleges in your last sentence? Are you drunk/high on crack?[/quote]

My point was, it was ridiculous advice. Obviously anyone would choose Georgetown over GW. The problem is Georgetown is very hard to get into, whereas GW is not. Your advice is comparable to... choose Harvard over BU. Yeah, no s*** sherlock.[/quote]

DP important to remember that GWU is not the only other choice than Georgetown, not even for IR. Go somewhere with better bang for the buck.[/quote]
NP. My kid applied for Elliot and of course applied to Georgetown and a number of other reaches. High stats and full pay. Money is no issue. Obviously he would choose Georgetown over GW and probably most of his reaches as well. But, we have to see how results shake out in March, when we can compare actual options. For example, suppose the options are BU (or even Tufts) or GW for international affairs. I'm not sure the answer is obvious. [/quote]

Great options! Does your kid want to eventually work and settle in Boston or DC? I would use location as a major criteria for deciding between similar schools.  In the example above, BU can be crossed out because its program isn’t as competitive.  But at the end of the day, the student should pick based on how much they love the campus and vibe. [/quote]
