<p>If the Ivies are a reach, then Georgetown would likely be a reach as well. I am no expert on internatonal relations but we just got back from a long college tour. S. is interested in being a pre-med but also wants an international slant.</p>
<p>One school that is slighter "easier" to get into that had strong international offerings was definitely George Washington. We were quite impressed with it, although the tuition is hefty (worse than the Ivies). However, the courses and the internships looked very good, if you don't mind the urban setting. (They are four blocks from the White House.)</p>
<p>The Fletcher School at Tufts is another possibility. Harder than GW to get in, but not as difficult as Georgetown.</p>
<p>As far as Kalamazoo College goes, I graduated from there years ago. Spent my junior year at University College, Cardiff. The study abroad programs are second to none, and you can also do an additional quarter abroad in your sophomore spring which is a 'career-service' block if you manage things right. (My close friend worked as an aide in Parliament.) It's a great small LAC (small class sizes, a tradition of sending people on to earn Ph.d.s) where it would definitely be easier to gain admission. The downside is the location and the fact that its name is less known. Western Michigan is definitely less than ideal for someone looking for related internships!</p>
