Why American?

<p>Hey
I don’t mean to be contentious but just for the sake of accuracy. :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Georgetown meets 100% of financial need.</p>

<p>This is taken from their website </p>

<p>Need-Blind Admissions: Georgetown University practices “need-blind” admissions; an applicant’s ability to meet college costs is not a criteria for admission. </p>

<p>Need-Based Financial Aid: Georgetown awards financial aid funds on the basis of demonstrated financial need. The University is committed to meeting 100% of the full demonstrated financial need of its’ eligible undergraduates. </p>

<p>And none of the classes are taught by TA’s. Certain classes, introductory classes over 50 include discussion sections or recitations. Class is taught by a professor and then a extra meeting either to look deeper into material or to go over homework for extra help is lead traditionally by a final year doctoral candidate. On two occasions my professor has filled this role and on a third another professor in the department. I would be surprised if this system wasn’t in place at American and GW as well. I’m not sure of the percentage but if it is 8% that is excellent as is GW’s 3%. Especially since large science classes need TA’s for labs and clinical rotations. </p>

<p>I think American is a fantastic school. I was in Egypt this summer and met some great girls studying there. I just wanted to clarify.</p>
