[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recently toured Georgetown, which was my son’s dream school since 9th grade. We were so disappointed. The neighborhood is great if you’re a wealthy baby boomer. Otherwise, it seems like a solid Catholic university, but hardly one of the world’s great universities. FWIW I’m a Fordham grad, and I don’t see how Georgetown is any stronger. Feels like a huge gap between prestige/name and quality. Am I missing something?[/quote] School of Foreign Service, pre-Med and the business school are particular strengths. Being in DC, for people who want to intern on the Hill, is something not easily done at schools outside of DC. Other than that, is is a medium sized university in a large urban region, so it is distinct from SLACs and state flagships in terms of how people think about size and setting for their university choices.[/quote]
