I have already been admitted to both, and count both schools among my favorites. Since I have to decide on Virginia's offer by March 1, I'm eager to hear your thoughts on how the schools compare. I know UVA is ranked better overall, but Georgetown is one of the best in international law (which I want to focus on) and has the bigger name internationally. On the other hand, the UVA program is much smaller, the campus is nicer and I think admission is more selective.

Any thoughts that might help my decision?

Anyone?

May I ask when you submitted your application to Virginia? I have also been admitted to Georgetown but have not heard back from Virginia yet....

I submitted my application on December 7, and was accepted on January 18. :-)
