Hey, I’m sorry you weren’t able to attend GW. That sucks. There’s always graduate school. However, I don’t think GW is a bad school academically just because you could not personally attend. It is the right school, and a good school, for a lot of people.

I am proud of our school and our academics, but either the rankings are flawed or not flawed; either we believe them or we don’t. we don’t get to believe them only when they are nice to us. Personally, I don’t give a S*** about the rankings… I think we’re a strong school REGARDLESS of our rankings (whether it’s good or not). Maybe we’re ranked highly in this and that; we’re also not even a first tier school according to US News. To me, it’s all BS.

I think most people across the country agree that GW is a very good school for international affairs and political science, and is sort of good for business. Whether we’re ranked 5 or 50 next year, I don’t think that reputation will change overnight.
