<p>You people need to get out of this ivy mindset. With Brown, I can’t think of a single program/major it excels in. People seem to be applying for the ivy name tag. Theres a reason why JHU has better grad school placement than these schools. Top grad schools know JHU is more rigorous and is more respected. Case in point is the US News Peer Assessment Score of JHU.Brown = the color and embodiment of **** (I expect alot of liberal brown supporters to immediately come here and argue this afterwards). Fact of the matter is if you go to Brown’s daily jolt and Harvard’s daily jolt, all the Brown(thats right, brown students who are obsessed with better schools spending their entire day on another school’s forum) students ever talk about is the public perception of their school. When the US news ranking came out, the students even discussed Cornell as being the new worst of the ivy league. due to a higher ranking. Brown will never gain the respect garnered by institutions by JHU and Cornell and their students know this. They should stop going to the harvard jolt forum and asking “what do you guys think of Brown?” because they already know what everyone thinks of it. Penn is dependent on wharton; hell even the wharton students dislike the rest of the school and wish to dissociate with it. <a href=“http://www.dailypennsylvanian.com/vnews/display.v/ART/421ed69004d88[/url]”>http://www.dailypennsylvanian.com/vnews/display.v/ART/421ed69004d88</a></p>
<p>As for Georgetown, go only for SFS undergrad but its IR school is far from the best in grad. Other programs are lacking and funding is needed badly.Hopkins can provide a comparable IR undergrad program however.</p>
