[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is an interesting factoid: According to the NYT, about 20% of Georgetown students are from the top 1% of the income scale, and only 13.5% are from the bottom 60%. For Emory, it's about 15% in the top 1% and 28% in the top 60%.

NYT says those stats are from the class of 2013 so this may have changed a bit since then. But it could also help explain the post-graduate income disparities.

Interesting to speculate on why these differences. Don't know if Georgetown is just more popular with the children of the rich-- or if it is a function of different financial aid policies? (Both schools are need blind and meet 100% of demonstrated need, but Georgetown is not as rich as Emory and gives a higher percentage of financial aid as loans, rather than grants, which may deter many lower income kids from applying/attending).[/quote]
Exactly, Georgetown has higher salary potential than almost all schools due to location and a wealthy privileged cohort. Not a completely fair comparison. [/quote]
