<p>School List and how I feel about each:
Reach?
Northwestern Medill (Brother, Father, and Sister-in law all went there...), in love with it
Stanford (should I just keep this one for Grad School?), in love with it
Georgetown Foreign Service School (or should I just apply to the arts and sciences school?) in love with the FS prog., not really in love with the rest of the school but would be content)
Brown (so nice, I also love IR)</p>
<p>Match?
USC (it's ok, annenburg seems nice)
Pomona (So wonderful! I only hesitate that it's so far from the city)
Tufts (it's ok, great IR prog)
Vanderbilt (I like the charm)
UVA (I like the charm, not too big, not to small
William and Mary (eh, it's nice and small)</p>
<p>Match/Safety?:
