In Georgetown's dreams. The ONLY program Georgetown has that's Ivy level is SFS. For that matter, Georgetown can't even measure up to UNC except in law and SFS.</p>
<p>All of its other programs -- arts & sciences, business, medicine, law, nursing -- are weaker than those of all of the Ivies with those programs. Georgetown skates by on its selectivity, location, and traditional prep school draw.</p>
<p>In terms of educational quality, I too consider the two very similar. I came exceedingly close to selecting Wake over Duke; I have a good friend who did and never regretted it. Wake is extremely underrated, partially because it is overshadowed by its larger neighbors in the state.</p>
