both great schools for IR. will get a great education at both.

now cue the fighting about Georgetown's rats and mold vs Baltimore's crime and JHU being (gasp!) 50%+ Asian.

Well they're both great schools for IR - congrats to your student, OP!

G-town SFS is usually ranked the best for IR by all the relevant experts, but if DC is already in the DMV, they may want a bit of a stretch and change of scene. And probably getting a Masters in IR at Georgetown is even better than an undergrad degree.

Yes, SAIS takes tons of international MS students, it's one of JHU's diploma mill for-profit programs.

Georgetown SFS. Way more connections than JHU. The prestige is not at the same level.

Georgetown takes any full pay kid with a pulse from NYC TT schools.

Interesting because Georgetown is considered a literal safety for 3.8+ 1490+ at our school but the HYPS admits don’t bother with JHU because they don’t take anyone.

The rat infested, crumbling, and poor school is the obvious choice? Please.

Hopkins. College is about being in a new environment, assuming OP is from the DMV.

I taught in both SFS and SAIS for their Masters program. Students in SAIS seem better, while SFS students have more diverse background. Both have more international students.

SFS?

G-town

Georgetown vs JHU ,major in IR.
