@gtowntransferperhaps - My daughter graduated from JMU with a degree in international affairs two years ago and works outside of DC for a prominent consulting company. The “affordable” OOS tuition at James Madison made it possible for us to swing her education through accrued savings and allow her to graduate relatively debt free. She makes a very good salary, but is living in high cost of living area. That being said, she enjoys a quality of life (travel, entertainment, etc.) that wouldn’t be possible if she was saddled with significant loans. She is currently pursuing graduate courses, reimbursed by her employer. You sound like a superstar at your current school and are on a trajectory to success and happiness. It’s laudable that you gained acceptance to Georgetown, but you have to weigh the net benefits of attendance. If they are negligible, then staying put makes sense. As other posters have mentioned, talk to your professors. You might also reach out to career services at your school to see job placement outcomes.
