Colleges and Universities A-Z Georgetown University

<p>I'm applying to Georgetown RD and I had my interview, and my interviewer was under the impression that I was applying to SFS undecided, when in actuality I am applying to the college as a government major. I was surprised when he said it, but then I thought back to september when I filled out that part 1 and realized that I must have thought SFS was the closest Georgetown had to a poli sci major. (please excuse my ignorance, I had no idea what I was doing 4 months ago...!)</p>

<p>I called Georgetown and the girl who answered told me to submit a letter with part 2 of my application to explain that I'm changing schools. I don't want them to think I'm flakey, because I really DO want to major in Government...I just made a mistake before I had a chance to research the school properly.</p>

<p>So, my question is, what should I write in this letter?? I don't want them to think I'm uninformed, because Georgetown is my first choice !!</p>

<p>ooh ouch...hmm...just say, I originally made a mistake in choosing the type of school I was interested in. I have always intended to major in government at the college ...
etc.</p>

<p>I don't think the letter will hurt you, but be sure to write in your part 2 why gtown essay why you want to go to the college. I want to major in economics and do international law, but I wrote about why the college convincingly, I think...</p>

<p>good luck</p>

<p>Thanks babybird...that's probably what I'll do. That way I can keep the letter short and I won't seem to be making excuses...</p>

<p>Angel,
My D changed her mind from MSB to SFS and wrote a letter explaining her decision to change schools. She was accepted EA, so don't panic and think it will kill your chances. Just write a really good letter.</p>
