[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First tier: Tufts and GW

Second tier: American and Middlebury

Forget the rest unless there is something specific that really appeals.

Take advantage of all of the offerings on campus, find internships during the summers and even during the semester, plan for grad school.[/quote]

I don't think you know Middlebury very well. It is EXCELLENT for econ and international/languages. [/quote]

I actually know Middlebury extremely well and it is not on the same level for IR and political science as Tufts and GW. Sorry. It sounds like you don’t know those fields very well.

Forgot how many Middlebury boosters are on this forum.[/quote]

That might be true if the question was just IR/poli sci. Except you missed that this kid is also interested in Econ. Midd is excellent in Econ (finance pipeline), and it is also very good for international/languages. Check out all of the Midd schools abroad. Midd also has a combined major called International Politics and Economics for combining these two interests.

Tufts is also very good. I was the one who said the choice is between Tufts and Midd, depending on the fit. They have very different environments obviously. Those two - Tufts and Midd - are a cut above the others.

GW isn't a bad choice. It does have the advantage of being in DC. Still, I don't think most would turn down Midd or Tufts for GW. Also kids may switch majors and if they do, this kid would likely regret choosing GW over Midd/Tufts all the more.

I'm not going to share my credentials, but I'm comfortable with my level of knowledge of Midd and these majors. [/quote]
