<p>My D was just taken off of Georgetown's wait list but had just decided on Wesleyan after a long decision of Colgate or Wes. FA is the same at both, GU a little less expensive tuition so overall a little less expensive. Yes they are two very different schools but D has many sides to her so I think she will be fine wherever she goes.
Help please! I would love to hear CC feedback.</p>
<p>What does your D intend to study? What school within Georgetown?</p>
<p>She was accepted to the College and is undecided but leaning towards Philosophy, Politics and Econ, maybe Psych. Really she just wants to learn and be surrounded by kids who go to school for the sake of expanding their minds and the grade is not the end.</p>
<p>7 things to consider.</p>
<p>1) Georgetown’s educational philosophy of educating the whole person sounds like it would be a good fit for your daughter since she has “many sides to her.” Georgetown CAS is like a LAC within a larger university. The school attracts students that value this philosophy.</p>
<p>2) DC opportunities to explore > than those in Middletown. D may have more opportunities for personal growth in DC not only on campus, but also because of the historical and cultural aspects of the town.</p>
<p>3) Greater ethnic diversity at G’town. Again more opportunities to be exposed to different ideas and cultures.</p>
<p>4) Georgetown regularly has high profile on campus speakers (still more opportunities to learn outside textbooks, labs and the classroom)</p>
<p>5) Georgetown has a slight financial edge.</p>
<p>6) Georgetown has strong Government, Economics, Philosophy and Psych departments at the undergraduate level.</p>
<p>7) Direct flights from DC to LA ;-)</p>
<p>I was in the exact same choice (not waitlist, but still GT versus Wesleyan). I love everything political and planned on being a government major, so in the end I chose GT because I couldn’t resist being in DC. I found the student body at GT to be more diverse, though I should note this was ethnically and NOT socioeconomically. But I’m also biased. However, the class sizes are basically the same and the caliber of professors the same I would say, so being in DC is just such an advantage for someone interested in government.</p>
