[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]lol...a massive state school with SAT's lower than 1300 or Georgetown...

Idiocy[/quote]

Georgetown isn't very prestigious. Their endowment is tiny and the buildings are crumbling. Many departments are underfunded and being slashed by the university, which is going broke. Not to mention that the 25% percentile of SAT scores at Georgetown is 1390 and Georgetown underwhelms in anything that isn't Government, Econ, or the majors in SFS. Michigan beats it easily.[/quote]

+1. Yes to all of this.

Georgetown University’s endowment is significantly smaller than its peer elite, top-20 research institutions, often cited as one of the lowest among top-tier schools. While peer institutions possess endowments in the tens of billions, Georgetown’s endowment was approximately $3.7 billion as of late 2024. In previous assessments, the average top-20 university endowment was over $8 billion larger than Georgetown's. This endowment issue causes serious setbacks in education quality.[/quote]

As a Gtown grad they're also quite financially irresponsible. That new campus in downtown DC is so ugly and undesirable, and of course, that's where they place their new Public Policy major and school. Nobody wants to live in the Capitol Campus, and Gtown knows that its all a sunk cost and is scared of that. Even the name Capitol Campus, McCort, etc is triggering for me because of how poor a decision it was on their behalf.[/quote]

I actually don’t mind that campus, but as an adult and if I were attending grad school, not for undergrad.[/quote]

Yes and the true undergrad Georgetown experience is on the Hilltop, not the uncharming downtown DC.[/quote]
