Georgetown isn’t the type of school to have Tufts Syndrome. Tufts Syndrome usually affects selective schools that are “backups” to other highly selective schools, like WashU (backup to Rice, Chicago, Northwestern) or Tufts (backup to Harvard, Yale).

Georgetown, however, is more of a niche school than a top-tier backup. For someone who wants to do government or international studies, it IS the top choice…ahead of just about anyone, including the Ivies.
