<p>Georgetown is (ideally) the school for me, because it encompasses every aspect I'm looking for. My problem is finding other colleges like Georgetown in the NorthWest or NorthEast.
I need suggestions for colleges between the levels of Pepperdine and Georgetown in these regions I described. I'm completely lost. I do not need a safety, I need matches to Georgetown/slightly below.
Thank you! :)</p>
<p>what is it that attracts you to Georgetown?</p>
<p>If it’s the Jesuit aspect that attracts you then perhaps Boston College and Villanova.</p>
<p>@fogcity Noo not the Jesuit thing that just happens to be the majority of colleges I end up looking at for some reason. I enjoy Georgetown’s academic standards and its proximity to the city. </p>

<p>Lehigh, Miami, GW, Syracuse–like that?</p>
<p>Tufts. Northwestern, Fordham, Johns Hopkins.</p>
<p>Georgetown is much more selective than Pepperdine, therefore many colleges fall between them in selectivity. Many colleges have high academic standards and urban/suburban locations. So, if you want good recommendations, it might help to be more specific about your preferences, your qualifications, and your financial situation.</p>
<p>You might like Northwestern, Tufts, and Johns Hopkins … but they are about as selective as Georgetown. Miami, GW, Villanova, and Fordham seem to match your specifications more closely. Also consider American University and Northeastern. </p>
<p>Do you need financial aid? If so, are you focusing on need-based or merit aid? Colleges mentioned so far are expensive private schools. As you move down in selectivity, the need-based aid tends to become less generous.
If you don’t qualify for need-based aid, but do need to keep costs down, then consider state universities (first in your home state, but also schools with relatively low prices for OOS students.)

<p>I’m with @tk21769 and second GW and American for similar school to Georgetown. The AU campus is a bit more like Georgetown and GW has a very urban setting. If you’re into D.C., I’d highly recommend GW because of it’s easy access (easier than Georgetown) to the rest of the city. There’s a Metro stop on campus; the campus is walking distance to monuments, the White House, and the Kennedy Center; and there are tons more shops, bars, and clubs within walking distance if you so choose. Georgetown still has a great night life with M street, but that area is only a 20 minute walk from Foggy Bottom.</p>
<p>Good luck! D.C.'s awesome!!</p>
<p>For a variety of selectivity levels based on the range you gave: Tulane, Emory, DePaul, American, Pitt, Haverford (smaller but right by Philadelphia), University of Southern Carolina (Honors deadline Nov. 15), Boston College, Fordham, Macalester (in a city and internationally-focused).</p>
