[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Georgetown is not full of Ivy rejects, if so you can say the same about Cornell or even Brown. With that being said Gtown is a bit overrated. Unless it's SFS ; Nova students should save the money and go to UVA. If they have they money and just need to go Private Cornell, Emory, Vandy, Notre Dame , and (if they can get in) Duke are much better options. [/quote]
Saying Vanderbilt, Emory, or even Notre Dame are better options than Georgetown is just dumb[/quote]
These schools have more money for financial aid, they are ranked higher ( Vandy by alot). Georgetown has a great location and that's it. It's overrated like NYU, USC and most of the other schools in big time cities. [/quote]
Comparing Georgetown to NYU and USC now, they are not even the same type of schools in any way.

Ranking higher is really irrelevant, and the ranking difference is minor to begin with. After the top 5 (Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, MIT) and the Ivies (just because lay prestige), the privates up until ~25 are very strong in certain areas and very weak in others.

If anything, most people would consider Georgetown to be more rigorous than Vanderbilt, Emory, etc in the humanities. and certainly more prestigious. [/quote]
