I wouldn’t say UNC is “easier” or has “more slackers” while GTown students are all “more gifted” and “more goal-oriented.” thats an incredible slap in the face to UNC and its students.

UNC is a very good school–and it has its +s and -s, just like georgetown. However, just because UNC is larger, doesn’t mean there will be a larger percentage of slackers…or have people who are less goal oriented. Remember, whether you go to Georgetown or UNC, theres going to be a bottem 50% of the class at both schools. While GTown may indeed be better for a internation relations major or studies, it won’t help you getting into a better law school–GTown isn’t really viewed as a superior school in the law school admissions process (unless perhaps you’re applying to gtown law school).

Also, it will be harder to be a standout at UNC than Gtown because its significantly bigger, and therefore has a greater quantity of top students. Even if just the top 10% of UNC’s students are just as talented as the top 25% of Gtown students, the top 10% of UNC’s class contains more students than the top 25% of a GTown class.

Regardless, you can’t make a wrong choice, and you should definately go to whichever school you feel like you like better.
