@MileHighCity You have some great choices including Gtown. I personally would pick either Yale or Georgetown International Relations. People in the know / part of elite groups will not differentiate much if at all between these schools. Gtown is in D.C so when it comes to internship opportunities I don’t think you can get better than that. Yale has an excellent PolliSci program and the acedemoc quality is just as good if not better than Gtown, all with similar prestige.
However the CC crowd will swear up and down that one must live and die by the rankings. Georgetown similarly to UCBerkeley have very vast amounts of lay prestige when it comes to the commoner/Joe shmoe. I would even say almost to the level of HYP. In other words the only schools on your list I feel could give you an advantage to Gtown is Yale and Stanford. So you are right to have them I’m your top 3.
