<p>Hey guys,
I'm a transfer student, and have narrowed it down to Carleton and Georgetown. I am interested in pursuing a major in Political Science and/or History. I know that Carleton has an amazing rate of acceptances to law school, and also a great reputation for graduate/PhD programs. When I visited, I loved the small classroom discussions, the student camaraderie and the accessibility of the professors...
Now for Georgetown! The government program there is top notch, amazing professors, and the access to internships is unparalleled. I know they also have a great pre-law program, and I absolutely loved the campus.
Are there any Carleton students here that have any advice? I'd appreciate any additional knowledge of the programs offered at Georgetown, words of wisdom on the whole experience there--pretty much anything! Thanks so much :)</p>
<p>wooopsss!!! i meant, georgetown students! :)</p>
<p>Government is indeed top notch at Georgetown. The course catalog for GOVT is always full of great offerings, and there are quite a few outstanding professors. If looking at a law, Anthony Arend, Christopher Joyner, and Catherine Lotrionte are some of the standouts in terms of government classes with a legal bent. </p>
<p>Adding to that is the huge variety of internship and networking opportunities available in Washington. This applies to law as well, both in terms of general firms and the legal offices and aspects of government agencies.</p>
<p>I'm not planning on going to law school, but I do know quite a few students that have or plan to - it's a popular post-graduate option, especially for government majors, so you can be sure there will be advising taylored to that goal.</p>
