<p>"What kind of transfers was he/she referring to?"</p>
<p>You ready for this? Seriously ready? Her example was from (emphasis on starting there) MIT to Cal State Long Beach. Her words, as close as I can get (my book is in the South and I'm not): "I give each file about 10 minutes. I try to get a picture of what the applicant is like. Let's say I get a kid who started at MIT and then transferred to Cal State Long Beach to be a philosophy major. He was obviously miserable being an engineer and now that he's back home, he's successful. To me, he looks like a good candidate." </p>
<p>Perhaps I should have just started with that example and then let you fight me on that - because your position is basically indefensible in that light. </p>
<p>Georgetown is a great school. So it's not in the same athletic conference as Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Penn, and the like - but it's still a great school. I'm not seeing the issue here.</p>
