<p>If you want to become what's so called "the world leaders" are you better off to go to Harvard? or Georgetown SFS?</p>
<p>Could anyone please tell me some benefits of going each school in terms helping your political career and such? I know these school's aren't not professional schools but the benefits you get out of the "network" of Harvard or Georgetown you gain is pretty impressive...</p>
<p>bill clinton went to georgetown.</p>
<p>get in both, then ask questions. i bet you will get rejected from both (sorry, probability isn't on your side)</p>
<p>real sweet. Way to lessen the stress.</p>
<p>Not sure about Georgetown beyond Clinton, but Harvard has produced:</p>
<p>7 Presidents of the US
3 Presidents of Mexico
1 President of Liberia
1 Prime Minister of Canada
1 Prime Minister of Finland
1 Prime Minister of Pakistan
1 Prime Minister of Mongolia
1 Secretary General of the U.N.
1 Finance Minister of India
1 Foreign Minister of Thailand
1 Crown Princess of Japan
Plus dozens of US Senators, Congressmen, Governors, Cabinet Members, and Supreme Court Justices</p>
<p>Not to mention 1 Queen of Naboo.</p>

<p>What's the point of this? I really dont think it matters where you go Georgetown, Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, (insert Ivy here) or CommunityU as long as you have the passion, dedication, intelligence, and the drive.</p>
<p>Columbia ?</p>

<p>truazn8948532 we all know that you got in to columbia. No need to brag.</p>
<p>regarding the initial stats for Harvard, I really think you ought to separate Harvard College from that entire list... would prob. help the OP a lot more.</p>
<p>Having said that, I think that Harvard nevertheless prob. holds the edge on this one, even though Georgetown's School of Foreign Service has the most President wanna-be's per capita.</p>
<p>I don't know if that's really true. </p>
<p>From my experience at Stanford, every social science student wants to be president. I'm sure it's even more rampant at Harvard and Yale.</p>
<p>Sometimes that "famous alumni" junk is pointless when the person has degrees from 2 or 3 schools and taught at a couple more. In your list, most people would associate Friedman, Stiglitz, and Fermi with the University of Chicago I would think.</p>
<p>A nod to both schools: A Syrian friend, who has familial relations in high echelons of Syrian academia and government, once told me that Syrians only know of two American schools, Georgetown and Harvard.</p>
<p>umm my guidance counselor went to georgetown. It's not about what college you go to, it's about the person.</p>
