[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the past GW has had the reputation of being for wealthy kids and having a large Jewish and international student population. It is also recognized as a feeder school for Capitol Hill. Our DC area private sends GW one or two students a year.

Our school sends kids to AU, but less reliably. I think an NYC private school kid would feel comfortable at either.

I get the impression that the schools are quite different. That being said, I think there is a fair amount of overlap because of the size of the student body, location and acceptance rate.

GW buildings are mixed into the city (Foggy Bottom) whereas AU has a more traditional campus.

A major benefit of coming to DC is the nice weather (relative to the other areas you are looking at)!

You should definitely come for a visit! [/quote]

The nice weather compared to Philly?![/quote]

I’m PP. I guess you failed reading comprehension. They are from NY and are also looking at colleges up to Moston Boston. But here’s a cookie for posting some snark.[/quote]

No, you did. The OP has all but ruled out the Boston schools.[/quote]

So desperate to defend your unhelpful snarky response. Here is a direct quote:

“ Was just trying to get an overview of the differences between these schools. Personally I would prefer my younger kid stay within Amtrak/driving distance so I am pushing Boston/Philly/DC options...”[/quote]

Oh, please, the kid is looking at schools in the northeast corridor. The weather is not that much different in any of those cities. We’re not talking about Boston or Florida. [/quote]

Thanks for sharing this insight into GW and AU. Do you have any other words of wisdom? Or do you keep posting to feel better about yourself because “you owned someone” about…the weather? lol.[/quote]

The poster said:

“A major benefit of coming to DC is the nice weather (relative to the other areas you are looking at)!”

It’s just a ridiculous statement.  Major?   Really?   Compared to Philadelphia and Boston?
