<p>Hey, so I got my Early results and wanted to know which were the top schools from them, specifically with regard to the Geneva School because I haven't heard much about it. Also, how important is your undergrad school's rep? As far as I can tell the Geneva School doesn't have much of a rep because it's only 8 years old. But, it seems the most appealing to me. Really appreciate your help!I'm applying for a degree in International Relations. So yeah, the schools are:</p>
<p>Washington and jefferson
Seton Hall (John C. Whitehead School of Diplomacy)
Hartwick
Geneva School of Diplomacy and International Relations
Franklin College, Switzerland</p>
<p>Additionally, how many ECTS credits do you need for most grad programs in the US?</p>
<p>I can’t rank the “awsomeness” of the schools, but I will tell you what I know about Washington and Jefferson. My older son graduated from there in the class of 2011 and it was a wonderful experience. He got to go to China to study the economics of the Olympics and to London to study the London Theater. The faculty and administration is very supportive and close to the students. Classes are small and I was just amazed at graduation at all the professors who came up to hug him and have their picture made with him. Their pre-professional programs are very, very good. My son and one other W&J class mate are both at William and Mary Law school this year. Lots of his class mates are in law school or med school at great schools. Loved the entire experience. Our younger son is not looking at it only because they don’t have a strong computer science program and he hates cold weather.</p>
<p>Seems the OP is an ex-pat or euro…can’t rank schools in switzerland. Sorry. College Confidential is about US colleges mostly and a few in Canada.</p>
<p>@lynx: Those are credits from universities in Europe that are members of the Bologna process, if I’m not wrong. @tjmom: Thank you for the great review! Really helped! @sovereign: International Applicant from India, actually. Yeah, I was hoping somebody might know a bit about those universities because there are a lot of non-Americans on here as well.</p>
