What about Gettysburg because of their Eisenhower Institute?

My kid attends. It would be Government or IR, depending on your focus. Global Policy with a specialization in a part of the world is also a speciality. She says it feel like half the school is IR/Government/Global Studies/Econ, with an eye towards law school, business school, and to a less extent foreign policy, public policy with a specialization, American politics. But I’m sure there is some selection bias there. Largest major is business, then “Politics and Government”. IR and aedon are up there.

Quinnipiac
Marist
Both known for political polling

I do a lot of hiring for my very prominent and very political NGO employer and, of somewhat less competitive schools, AU grads do very, very well. There is definitely an ethos there of making use of internships and they have a lot of new grads who have a major leg up over recent grads moving here after graduating from more prestigious schools. That's where I would look.

W&M's major is Government, which is a common alternative name to Political Science.

Morgantown is a little further than 150 miles but WVU's poli-sci program was quite rigorous when I was there, with excellent faculty. I'm 40, not working in political science (I double-majored in poli sci/journalism; no longer working in journalism either, but adjacent to both), and I have always drawn on what I learned, even now. Maybe worth a look.

None of these is much easier to get into than Georgetown though.

Most of these are not within 150 miles of DC, either. Someone needs to read the OP.

For Georgetown, you have to apply directly to one of the 4 colleges. If it's the School Of Foreign Service they are applying to at GU--it's much, much harder to be accepted.

Particularly not Princeton.

What the heck is “college transitions”? Never heard of it. USNEWS does not have W&M high and neither does Niche.

I don't think USNWR has undergraduate ratings in these areas.

^ I should have added Georgetown, but OP said they couldn't be admitted.
