Can someone please post the 2020 Essay prompts (general prompts and ones for Business, SFS or the College). I couldn’t find them on the web site.
Short Essay
In the space available discuss the significance to you of the school or summer activity in which you have been most involved.
Essay One
ALL APPLICANTS: As Georgetown is a diverse community, the Admissions Committee would like to know more about you in your own words. Please submit a brief essay, either personal or creative, which you feel best describes you.
Essay Two
APPLICANTS TO GEORGETOWN COLLEGE: Please relate your interest in studying at Georgetown University to your goals. How do these thoughts relate to your chosen course of study? (If you are applying to major in the FLL or in a Science, please specifically address those interests.)
APPLICANTS TO THE WALSH SCHOOL OF FOREIGN SERVICE: Briefly discuss a current global issue, indicating why you consider it important and what you suggest should be done to deal with it.
APPLICANTS TO THE MCDONOUGH SCHOOL OF BUSINESS: The McDonough School of Business is a national and global leader in providing graduates with essential ethical, analytical, financial and global perspectives. Please discuss your motivations for studying business at Georgetown.
****I’ve already made an account and working on my supplements and this is where I found them. They weren’t posted on the website as a general post.
Thanks! Apparently I have to choose whether I liked your post or it is helpful … can’t be both even though it was.
Hahaha no problem and good luck!
Is there a word limit for any of them?
@CDOESenior2k16 The short essay doesn’t appear to have a word limit, and the app states that Essay One & Two should be approx. 1 page each.
In addition to the three essays above, I also found this one one a couple websites. Can anyone confirm? I haven’t yet made an account, but I want to start working on these asap.
Question #1
Required for all applicants
Indicate any special talents or skills that you possess.
No limit provided
@ellesea ?
@jackrabbit14 That is not a question this year.
It’s not really an essay question. You can write as much or as little as you want. I left it blank but my friends wrote extended essays.
So there is not word limit right? Are 600+ words enough for the first essay? Thank you in advance!
I did about 350 words for the activity essay and 500 each for the other two essays.
Can anyone please tell me if I need to do the georgetown college essay if I want to go to the business school? Thanks.
Does a polisci major write the SFS essay or the Georgetown College essay? (I still do not know if I want to do polisci or international relations)
@2016senior Write the Georgetown College essay if you are applying there for poli sci. Write the SFS one if you are applying there for IR.
@JT199854 No - You only do the one for the school you are applying to, so you only need to write the McDonough essay.
@haz1299 Thanks.
For the Short Essay, when they say school or summer activity that I have been most involved in, does this mean any activity in my high school career that was important to me during the school year or summer time? Or, does it mean an activity that was done through my school (ex. Student Council or Varsity sport)?
