+1. I'm class of '95. My wife is class of '97 under grad and class of '01 for grad school.. My father went there for undergrad and law school and my FIL taught medicine there for 27 years. Five diplomas between us all.

We took our son there a dozen times over the years since we live in Arlington. Did the official tour, and, I'll take heat for this, but he felt very out of place as the only white boy in the 20 person group. It came across more like a business presentation than a campus tour. So bland and uninteresting. Our son left completely underwhelmed. He applied anyway and was rejected, which floored us given the huge legacy.

So, screw Georgetown. They'll never see another dime from any of our families.[/quote]

Try not to vacation in CA.  And most schools out here, there is a real risk that he would find himself in similarly uncomfortable situations.[/quote]

West cost schools tend to be waaaaaay whiter than east coast schools on the whole.[/quote]

Uh, only if you consider Asian kids white.[/quote]
