<p>Is it harder to get admitted to SFS than it is to Georgetown College? Is the acceptance rate much lower? I was just curious because I'm interested in studying classics and political science (or culture and politics if at SFS), so I can study politics either way, and would really like to maximize my chances of acceptance...</p>
<p>The admission rates are similar, but much more (I believe) is expected out of the SFS applicants. In our own little CC microcosm, about 55% of College applicants were accepted, while only about 42% of SFS applicants were accepted. We were all highly qualified, so I think that says something right there.</p>
<p>The college has more fun.</p>
<p>True dat. That's where I'm (in all likelihood) heading next year. What's your major, Auren?</p>
<p>Government. The internships will be so hella great!</p>
<p>LOL. That's tight. Governement should be fun (I guess). I think I already told you, but I might double major in government, too. We'd probably be in some of the same classes! That's hella tight.</p>
<p>def. Now what about Gtown's rep. as a party school?</p>
<p>I hear that they have a very good party scene, but it is by no means a "party school." Actually, in a Princeton Review book, they said that it had on of the best party scenes they had ever seen. It's not crazy, but there's lots of fun stuff to do. And the parties are a lot of fun.</p>
<p>I thought Georgetown had a crappy party scene. That's why I wanted to go there.</p>
<p>Haha, not my sole criteria, but the lack of a Greek system was a definite plus.</p>
<p>That was a plus for me, too, actually. I visited USC a while ago, and everything there simply exuded Greek life. It permeated every facet of the USC lifestyle. That's when i decided that I didn't want to go to a school where Fraternities/Sororities dominated the social scene.</p>
<p>And it doesn't have an extreme party scene, it has a very balanced party scene. Not much of a partier, I take it, Manderz?</p>
<p>ha! party scene? come on, now. I know people who go to GWU and they say if you're going to get a party, you'd better know the right places to go, because DC is pretty much dead at night.</p>
<p>unless you're into hookers. which of course we all are.</p>
<p>But... when I was there, it seemed relatively lively at night. Oh well. Do American/GWU have good party scenes? Or do all the DC schools suck at partying?</p>
<p>depends on what "relatively lively" is. If you're coming from Smallville, then yeah, I'd say it's "relatively lively". </p>
<p>but first and foremost DC is a political town. Whatever hardcore partying goes on in this town, stays behind closed doors, out of reach of the tabloids.</p>
<p>LOL I see... And actually, when I think about it, it wasn't all that lively... at least in comparison to Berkeley at night (I live 5 minutes away from Cal).</p>
<p>Are you serious? Hmmm. Well for me, at least, one of the big pluses (or at least I thought) about Georgetown was that all of the college books listed it as having one of the top ten nightlives. DC didn't seem dead to me either when I visited. I really hope that this "no partying" business isn't true, because while I, like Calidan, don't want to go to a only Greek-life school, I don't want to go to a super boring school either.</p>
<p>remember, at Georgetown, too much immoral partying= burning forever</p>
<p>so watch out :)</p>
<p>Babybird- do you really think Georgetown is that Catholic? I mean every single person I spoke to said it was basically a secular school, with the exception of some theology requirments.</p>
<p>Yeah- all of the Princeton Review and other college books always rate Georgetown as being in one of the best "College Towns." DC/Georgetown totally felt "happening" to me, LOL.</p>
<p>I feel like there is probably a lot more partying going on than is "acceptable" to talk about. After all, Georgetown has come under some fire for being too secular. I feel they are trying very hard to be politically correct these days and that includes being inclusive-- not a bad thing. But I hear the church isn't too happy. :)</p>
<p>Oh, poor church. When I go to that openhouse (Feb 25/26?) I'm going to try to stay over, and see for myself what this nightlife is all about. If I'm going somewhere for 4 years, I'm like Lauren: I want to have some fun (read: get action often) Esp. because everyone tells me life is all downhill from here.</p>
