<p>Can i be competitive as an out - stater? how does admission for out of staters stack up to that of UVA? I thought UVA was tougher but you guys take less kid from out of state? Am i match? Is there enough for kids intersted in poly sci and gov (oppurtunities, lectures, guests, events?)</p>

<p>i will be applying early to penn but...if i don't get in (verry real possibility) is it worth applying to other tough schools like Tufts, Duke, UVA, UNC Chapel Hill, or GT?
ALso- what are your opinions of Emory, George Washington or anywhere else for some one intereste4d in polisci, history or int. relations? What schools get kids into DC internships for congress or the white house etc...?</p>
