so you’re kind of all over the map in terms of interests, so you need a school that has IR and French and/or music, that is not as selective or expensive as Georgetown, and that could be larger.

of these criteria, the most important to your search, the criteria that will have the most impact on where you go next, is “less expensive than Georgetown.” So I’m in agreement that you need to run some net price calculators to find out what you can afford in general. If, for example, you cannot afford a school ANYTHING like Georgetown but can afford something more expensive than your state school, then you look for schools in that group and the state school. If, on the other hand, you can only afford your state school and have no merit opportunities then you go to the state school and if they don’t have IR you major in something close to IR and go from there.
