If it’s for the SFS, yes. Otherwise, probably not. I directly credit doing well at Georgetown SFS and developing connections there for getting my dream job, and succeeding at it. If you want a government job, there are few places that prepare you better.

Georgetown has halo bias in DC, but rest of country does not see a difference.

If you pay the difference, don't do it for the prestige. Georgetown is not that big of a deal outside of DC.


I think there is a bit of GU hate on this board. Georgetown is certainly well regarded across the country and having lived in different parts of the country I would confidently say that it is held in higher regard than UVA. But for me personally it wouldn't be worth the cost premium but I have no idea where your child's interests lie.....which I would hope would factor into the equation.


Sorry to blow your bubble but most outside DC will not know the nuanced difference among many schools in that area - except possibly JHU and Naval Academy - both in Maryland.


Georgetown has no cache here in Chicago


What about cachet?

Georgetown is not worth the money. Take it from an alumnus. UVA has an amazing reputation.

As a parent now I'd prefer my kids to attend Georgetown over UVA. Also growing up in New England, Georgetown was very prestigious, UVA less so.

It is certainly a known quantity outside of this area, without doubt.

Can you afford it? Georgetown.

Massive loans? UVA.

UVA. This is an easy decision. It’s become an extremely popular, highly coveted school. Georgetown is a fading, overly expensive, and overrated school. A no brainer, really.
