[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like Tufts is the best choice overall for both strong IR reputation and strong top school prestige in other areas if you change majors. Boston location a plus.

Seems like GW is a great choice if you know you want to do IR, and unlikely to change majors. DC location a big plus.

Seems like Middlebury is a great choice if you like the college's general prestige as a top LAC, are interested in the language side of IR in particular. It has a good IR program but lags both Tufts and GW. It's also small (3000 students) and rural so that is a plus or minus depending on your needs. Rural Vermont a plus if you want rural/away from metro area vibes.

American is a good choice if you know you want to do IR and nothing but, and you want a defined campus vs GW. Otherwise, pick GW in DC. DC location a plus.

USC/Oxy is a good choice if you want to be in sunny LA above anything else.

Finally, check out Foreign Policy's rankings (2024) for IR undergrad programs broken out by faculty/policymaker/think tank staffer (3 separate lists). Based on it, Tufts/GW is the best followed by American. The others don't feature much.
