[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at the number of Nobel prizes it won - it's more than the rest of the State combined. It's a world class university for blue collar workers . [/quote]

GMU has won zero Nobel prizes. Buchanan won when he was at UVA and years later became GMU professor.  Smith received the award while he was at George Mason, but it was for work He had done at Arizona.  [/quote]

And the Mason hater; both were part of the faculty when they won at GMU.

VA Tech people cry for not keeping Buchanan and Arizona for Smith; If you were a student of either when they won the Nobel Prize it was at GMU.

And don't forget Supreme Court Justices becoming visiting professors at GMU Law - who cares about ideology? You land a clerk position then you are set for life. Do you get that at the slightly higher ranked Law Schools?

And a few Pulitzer Prize winners.  A number which is within reach of UVA and W&M. Please don't bring up Poe - that was before GMU was even an idea.

Cry some more that your elite wine drinking snooty school hasn't destroyed the beer drinking blue collar working school. You think it's still an "only commuter school" or something more?

NP.
Destroy? UVA and W&M don't compete with GMU for students. [/quote]

No one said they do. Just replying to the hater. And the kids that go to GMU have a different mindset than the W&M and UVA.  No one goes to GMU thinking it looks good on the resume. They do go in with ambition and know the opportunities the school offers within and outside. I was just pointing out how GMU helps. [/quote]
