<p>The 2005 Princeton Review rankins are in! Here's how Georgetown was rated:</p>
<p>#11 The Toughest To Get Into (Academics)
#5 Most Politically Active (Politics)
#5 Great College Towns (Social) </p>
<p>Sounds good to me! Screw USNEWS, I like these better. :D</p>
<p>Wow...I don't know how I feel about the first statistic...it's scary for Hoya Hopefuls...</p>
<p>I know! I totally didn't expect that, either. But hopefully now I'll get into Brown since it's ranked below Georgetown! Theoretically, I should... ;)</p>
<p>Just in case you're wondering: Georgetown and Brown are tied in my mind- I'm not sure which I would pick. That last post did not mean that Brown is my #1 school. The decision will most likely be made for me by April 1st, since I doubt that I'll get into Brown :)</p>
<p>i thought princeton review rankings came in a while ago....</p>
<p>60...second....rule...</p>
<p>hey calidan, gtown and brown are tied for me too! even tho i'm SFS at gtown and totally set on intl relations/poli sci right now, im so indecisive and i have so many varied interests that i really see myself changing my mind a lot about my major. i had my heart set on brown for like 3 years of high school and i LOVED it when i visited, and then this last year and a half ive fallen in love with gtown too....if i get into both i dont kno what im gonna do, but chances are i wont, lol, so i guess we'll both just have to wait and see...good luck!</p>
<p>A lot of shared applicants from brown and gtown? I'm also applying to Brown. It's ranked slightly higher in my mind just because it's closer to home. </p>
<p>Why is georgetown's USnews ranking so low when it's obviously a very good school, and very hard to get into?</p>
<p>B/c they're dumb... that's why. No, it's probably because of the low endowment (at least that's my best guess). I'm really not sure why it's as low as it is, though, since it's an amazing institution.</p>
<p>So does low endowment = bad financial aid? I've heard that before...</p>
<p>Well that's usually the case, but I've only heard of people happy with the Gtown FinAid. They really try to make sure that everyone who wants to attend can attend.</p>
<p>PS- Zante I'm so glad that you're back and posting on here (specifically on the Gtown forum) again!!! It's fun having you around. :)</p>
<p>I think I'm posting the most on gtown's board! lol esp thanks to you who makes the conversation going.</p>
<p>I'm glad to be back, but I can't get any work done!</p>
<p>Me neither! But it's... so... addicting! I need to write an essay on Hard Times, but that can wait.</p>
<p>Ad I can actually have intelligible/intelligent conversations on here with people... unlike at my school.</p>
<p>yea but it's only 7:30 for you! Meanwhile it's 10:30 and I haven't done anything...</p>
<p>Zante! How do you keep your grades so high? You are amazing. I can say with confidence (not certainty, though... you know why!) that I think you will get into Georgetown.</p>
<p>I hope so!
I'm really not feeling motivated to work, but since we just returned from vacation this week hasn't been so bad so that's good. I also have a job after school so I get home at 7pm...I guess I sacrifice sleep! lol</p>
<p>Meh- I'll sleep when I'm dead. ;)</p>
<p>I was giving myself an ulcer with the coffee I drank just to stay awake.</p>
<p>Remember, these rankings are based upon student surveys. Different methodology yields different results.</p>
<p>ok calidan and others...
if we get into both brown and gtown what on earth are we gonna do?</p>
<p>i love both schools equally.. some days leaning towards gtown, other days brown..
ah im confused...</p>
<p>but then what if i dont get into either.... o boy.. it's just too scary!</p>
<p>i have no idea! i think ill just write down a list of pros and cons for each school and ask my 8-ball and do inky-binky-bonkey and eenie miney moe and ask ppl to pick numbers 1 or 2 and i dont kno!! lol, but i shoudlnt stress too much, im not very certain ill get in, admissions is very random ive noticed lol</p>
