[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Georgetown and still think #12 is a bit high. I think Georgetown is very strong in certain areas, but doesn't have the strength across departments that UChicago and Michigan have, for example. I'd put it below both schools, but still in the top 25.[/quote]

It does incredibly well due to absurdly high alumni salaries relative to other schools, and that's a big factor for the Forbes ranking.

PayScale ranks Georgetown 18th for earning potential, while the CollegeScoreCard has Georgetown with the third highest salary among alumni between elite schools (only MIT and Harvard rank higher).

Also explains why LACs do so poorly in general- they're not really known for highly paid alumni. [/quote]

i'm curious how true this is. georgetown is a secondary tier target to MBB consulting and Ibanking after hypsm, wharton. it also sends a lot of kids into public sector/politics which pay like shit when you start out.

is it all of the kids that get funneled to pwc, deloitte, accenture and fed consulting/contracting that makes it have a high median? [/quote]

Georgetown is a much better school by any metric.[/quote]
