[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do DC folks think of Georgetown these days? We were a bit underwhelmed. I mean, it’s an excellent school, but compared to similarly selective schools, you wonder why it’s so selective. [/quote]

very religious[/quote]

Not our impression at all. Plenty of non-Catholics attend.[/quote]

Sure but if a college is REQUIRING my DS/DD to take "The Problem of God" (THEO-1000) or "Introduction to Biblical Literature" (THEO-1100), we're NOT going there.

As an optional course, sure do what you want to offer. [/quote]

Yikes!  Not spending $100,000 a year for my kid to have his limited time at a school subjected to these requirements.[/quote]

You realize that most schools have "requirements"?  I am not a Georgetown alum or a Christian, but even I know that the Problem of God course is not about Jesuit beliefs or Christianity. It is a very famous, even iconic, course. Are you spending $100k for your kid to take core curriculum at other universities?[/quote]

Yes, I am and I prefer them to these 2 courses as they are more flexible and broader in scope, plus more units for foreign language.  4 years goes by quickly.[/quote]
