TakeMyCoffeeBlack Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Just got into Georgetown for IR. Will I get a job coming out of this program? Georgetown has placements outsizing its rank because of the name recognition. Funding is the key there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaetzli Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I don't want to be that asshole that gets an offer at SUNY New Paltz... Getting a job at SUNY (who cares where) is actually pretty good… and there were many smart people on the market this year who couldn't get a job like that.

DontgetaPHD Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Georgetown has placements outsizing its rank because of the name recognition. Funding is the key there. That seems unlikely. So hiring committees were thinking "hey, I've heard of Georgetown..."? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TakeMyCoffeeBlack Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 That seems unlikely. So hiring committees were thinking "hey, I've heard of Georgetown..."? I don't know that you're serious and not just a troll, but giving you the benefit of the doubt: Absolutely. 100%. Georgetown has name recognition for the committees themselves, but don't forget that where professors have their Ph.D.s can also play a role for future students (undergraduate and graduate). More undergraduates are going to recognize Georgetown than quite a few top 20s. Of course those top 20s will generally do better than Georgetown, but Georgetown competes relatively well.

xuejia Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 PSR trolls, so long as they aren't being douchey bigots, are kinda funny. I now have a daily habit of checking PSR for my daily laugh quota. Poli92 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGnome Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I will go ahead and claim one of the Pitt. E-mail was from the DGS - seems like a mass e-mail. Funding info etc. came attached. From the e-mail it is not possible to get a sense of whether they sent notifications to everyone, or doing it in waves or something else. So there may be hope yet for those still waiting to hear. Hope this helps kal5, mooneyed and Poli92 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catchermiscount Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I would like to hear what CoachRJC has to say about Georgetown. I'm a big fan of the Princeton offense, and I think JT3 will get them turned around this year. The Big East is wide open.
