Hello,

I’m a high school senior interested in studying Political Science next year and have applied to the 10 schools listed below. I’m really interested in politics and government (domestic more so than international), and intend on going to law school. Secondary interests include economics and American history. Career wise I’m still unsure - maybe politics, or some type of international organization, or practicing law.
So far, I’ve been admitted to Georgetown and Boston College EA.

Please rank these schools by their Political Science/Government undergraduate programs, taking into consideration grad school placement, internship/career oppurtunities, and anything else you deem appropriate. I would also appreciate any comments on individual programs you may have knowledge about even if you can’t rank the others. Cost is not an issue. Thanks!

The 10 schools, listed alphabetically:

Boston College
Brown
Georgetown (Political Economy, not SFS)
Harvard
University of Pennsylvania (maybe PPE program)
University of Southern California (maybe PPL)
University of Virginia
Vanderbilt
Washington University in St. Louis
Yale (maybe EPE)

I appreciate all comments!
