<p>i was responding to kk, sarcastically</p>
<p>
Surely you must be joking Mr. kk19131.</p>
<p>Joking? Nope, sure not...... I still would like an answer :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Pellman-Actually, given that either an immediate past (United States), Current (Philippines, Jordan) or Future (Spain) Head of State for four of the one hundred and three of the thirty most populous nations on earth, two of the fifteen most powerful women in the world (according to Forbes magazine), a current Supreme Court Justice , the minority whip of the US Senate, the President of MIT, the Chariman of Citibank ,the commander of our army in Iraq and Solicitor General of the US all are Georgetown alumni, it is Stanford that may actually crave being called the "Georgetown of the West."</p>
<p>Yeah, but those people got educated almost 30-40 years ago...imagine how different todays top colleges were 30-40 years ago...</p>
<p>"the President of MIT"</p>
<p>-Who cares..... :rolleyes:</p>
<p>pizza, for the record, which of these people did their undergraduate vs. graduate work at Georgetown? Stanford is said to be heavy on the graduate side, light on the undergraduate side. HS juniors might like to know.</p>
<p>President of US-SFS undergrad
King of Spain-SFS grad
King of Jordan-SFS Grad
President of Philippines-SFS undergrad
Solicitor General of US-SFS undergrad
Minority Whip of US Senate-SFS undergrad
Chairwomen of Lucent-Georgetown College undergrad
Associate Justice of Supreme Court-Georgetown College undergrad
President of MIT-Georgetown Med School grad
Chairman, Citigroup-Georgetown Law Grad
President of European Commission-Georgetown PhD grad
Commander of Multinational Force in Iraq-SFS undergrad</p>
<p>"President of US-SFS undergrad"</p>
<p>-I don't think Bill Clinton is the president of the US..... :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Thanks for the random trivia...</p>
<p>any time, hope I answered the other guy's question adequately</p>
<p>OVERRATED: </p>
<p>U of Michigan (Ivy-like Law & Med schools, but not at undergrad level like many Wolverines would have you believe)</p>
<p>U of North Carolina (its most stated reason for high ratings is its "classic (redbrick) campus"; is that the making of a top state school?)</p>
<p>Northwestern (looks great to some next to good public Us, but one wonders, given its practical undergrad strengths, how it would measure up against big time privates -- in 80s, in fact, the Ivy League turned down its membership)</p>
<p>Penn State (why is this laid-back technical/party school top 50 material? Joe Paterno? Conservative football unis? or simply being a quality state school in the Northeast in Ivy dominated territory?)</p>
<p>UNDERRATED:</p>
<p>Michigan State (USN&WR rating 'up to' 30 among publics, 70 overall, but no way its not really top 20 or 15 among publics, and top 50 overall given the diversity of super strong undergrad programs; but for closeness to Univ of Michigan, it would be)</p>
<p>Indiana U (a big-time public that seemingly has it all, but is often crowded out by other Big 10s, plus its smaller state (and Purdue competition) means somewhat easier admissions which, to many, equals lower ratings, which isnt fair)</p>
<p>Case Western (Carnegie-Mellon and WUSTL have better PR and/or sexier hometowns, than Cleveland, which are overrated in themselves; Cleveland as a city, btw, is vastly UNDERRATED)</p>
<p>University of Washington (a complete, top research U that should be right there with Berkeley & Michigan but isn't b/c it's up in the no-man's land Pacific NW corner of America)</p>
<p>Northwestern was Never considered for Ivy membership. Please support that nonsense.</p>
<p>^ yes it was. Try doing a little research, like the NYT archives, before shooting off your mouth.</p>
<p>Northwestern (looks great to some next to good public Us, but one wonders, given its practical undergrad strengths, how it would measure up against big time privates -- in 80s, in fact, the Ivy League turned down its membership)</p>
<p>-How does it measure? You tell me. It wanted to join the Ivy League, huh? Where is info on this I could read? :)</p>
<p>Northwestern is top notch, but I never heard of anything about it joining the Ivy League, especially in the 80s! Brown was the last school to join the Ivy Athletic Conference, and that was a long time ago.</p>

<p>it was? where did you get that information?</p>
<p>I have checked it out previously when Rutgers claimed it was considered. No such thing ever happened. There is an Ivy history on the net you can read.</p>
