Georgetown, BC Honors, or Tufts?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I am from the Boston area so BC and Tufts are a lot closer, but I also love Washington, D.C. and Georgetown. I was accepted into BC Honors, but also got half of much financial aid as I did from Gtown. I'm torn.</p>

2

<p>any outside opinion?</p>

3

<p>I would go to Tufts over BC.</p>

4

<p>and gtown?</p>

5

<p>It’s probably not worth all the travel… I had a friend who went there and hated it. additionally it only has a 90% retention rate,</p>

6

<p>ok thank you</p>

7

<p>If you like BC, show them the GU offer and ask that they re-look at your numbers. Neither college is known to be generous and since both colleges offer only need-based aid, and I’m surprised that they ended up so far apart.</p>

8

<p>the bc site says that they will not consider appeals based on what students have received from other schools… it might be worth a shot tho</p>

<p>What’s your intended major? If it’s IR, then it really doesn’t matter if you go to Tufts or GT (or BC really, for undergrad). However, Gtown isn’t known for having all-around strong academic programs, so you’d have to look at that department carefully. If you’re undecided, I’d say Tufts or BC, Tufts definitely if it’s cheaper.</p>

10

<p>i want to major in either economics or mathematics</p>

11

<p>What do you want to do for a job? (e.g. Wall Street, Academia, Government, etc.)</p>

12

<p>if i major in mathematics probably an actuary or accountant… or go to law school? economics id consider law school or see what opportunities are out there</p>

13

<p>which school would better fit my interests does anyone know… i feel like they are on the same level</p>

14

<p>if you want to go to law school, i think Georgetown would be better. I personally would choose georgetown over bc any day, but thats just me.</p>

15

<p>how does tufts compare in mathematics or economics with gtown</p>

16

<p>What school within georgetown have you been accepted to? college or school of business?</p>

17

<p>the college</p>

18

<p>If it’s gtown college and bc honors I think bc would be the better choice. Georgetown is more known for it’s school of foreign service</p>

19

<p>Tufts would be a solid choice here. BC Honors is great, but if they are not showing you the money, could you justify going there?</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
