Deciding Upon the "Best" School in the Nation, NCAA March Madness Style.

College Search & Selection
21

<p>I chose Vandy over WUSTL because Nashville is a great city and music is pretty important as well. Not to mention the hot babes and crazy parties.</p>

22

<p>^Ditto for the location part. Nashville/the South > St. Louis/the Midwest</p>

<p>For the most part, if I have to choose between Reputable School A in the North/Midwest/West vs. Reputable School B in the South/California, I’m going to choose School B pretty much every time.</p>

23

<p>what about on the institution itself then? haha</p>

24

<p>Number of rulers of the world in the past 10 years (Heads of State or Government of the world’s 192 nation states)</p>

<p>Georgetown 6 (Philippines, Jordan, United States, Bosnia, Portugal, Lithuania)</p>

<p>I think that means Georgetown wins.</p>

<p>Since this is one of those silly things where you mnake your own rules, I am adding faculty member Heads of State (Poland and Spain) which brings the total to 8.</p>

25

<p>^ why not past 20 or 30. It wouldn’t be clear cut then.</p>

26

<p>I don’t think we need a total massacre, you would have to add the Chiefs of Ecuador, El Salvador, and Panama as well.</p>

27

<p>Why not most US Presidents?
Some other schools may get a leg up there =D</p>

28

<p>Does Georgetown get to count Lyndon Johnson as well as Clinton?</p>

29

<p>Yale gets to count Bush and Clinton.</p>

30

<p>Not a record to be proud of^
=P</p>

<p>William and Mary gets Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, and Tyler. None more recently, however, it is making a comeback with some high level officials like Robert Gates.</p>

31

<p>Can we count forward and assume Greece restores its Monarchy? In that case Georgetown has two more HOSs in the pipeline in Greece and Spain.</p>

<p>I forgot, this is CC, so you can make your own rules. I officially add them in. The count is getting so high my Georgetown level SAT math score may not accommodate this exercise any longer-I think we are at 13. Can we get someone from MIT to help?</p>

32

<p>I think we can, how about MIT President Susan Hockfield, Georgetown Med Class of '79.</p>

<p>threads like this make me worry about the fate of humanity</p>
