[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the bottom line.  There's the Ivy League, Stanford, Caltech, MIT and Chicago and maybe -- maybe -- Duke and Northwestern.  After that there are about 15 or 20 big schools where going to one is just as good as going to another.  Included among these schools are a half-dozen state schools:  Berkeley, UCLA, Michigan, UVA, UNC and William & Mary.  Georgetown is one of these.  So if you're living in NOVA, why in the world would you pay more than double for Georgetown?  If you want to go into business or engineering, obviously UVA is better, and if you want to major in the humanities or social sciences and go to grad or law school no school you apply to is going to think either school is any better than the other.  Georgetown's only standout is its school of foreign service, but that's a niche program.[/quote]

You are high if you think Georgetown and W&M have the same recognition nationally [/quote]

The University of Alabama is better known than either.  What is Georgetown known for?  Being in Washington and SFS?  It isn't "known" in the same way Harvard is known.[/quote]
