<p>Should I apply ED? Do I have any chance?</p>
<p>Or would it be better to apply to the regular college…I’ve heard it’s harder to get into the SFS but I thought my extracurriculars fit it better.</p>
<p>Your extracurriculars are impressive, but the class rank and ACT scores are a little low. Unless you have a compelling reason (aka working full time job to support family, illness, ect.) those will be frowned upon. At the same time, if you truly want to attend Georgetown its worth applying. Its like buying an expensive lottery ticket. Just make sure to have a few backups (thats true for anyone though).</p>
<p>Thanks for responding! Do you think I should stick to the School of Foreign Service or Georgetown College? I figured that my foreign language skills may stand out a little more at the SFS.</p>
<p>You always have a chance…Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. You should apply to the school which you feel would best meet your academic pursuits. The SFS is a highly specialized program that takes a rather unique interdisciplinary approach, which may or may not appeal to you. I hope this isn’t information overkill but I always figured more information was better when I was applying to schools.</p>
<p>In 2009, the SFS Undergraduate Program was ranked #3 tied w/Yale & Stanford, (Harvard #1, Princeton #2), SFS Masters Program #1 published by Foreign Policy Magazine in a series entitled Inside the Ivory Tower (an interesting series of surveys compiled by the Institute for the Theory and Practice of International Relations at the College of William and Mary). I only seen the ones published for 2005, 2007, and 2009. I haven’t seen any published stats for 2011. </p>
<p>The lure of a top IR program, with some of the best faculty/scholars in their fields at the helm, will bring out the best and brightest to compete for a spot in the incoming class. If you choose the SFS you will be applying to an amazing program that has consistently been ranked within the top #5 in the nation for undergraduate IR studies and a #1 Masters Program (since 2007). </p>
<p>Here are the latest stats for all the schools that may also be helpful in making your decision.<br>

<p>Your EC’s show a demonstrated interest in global/political issues/activism and the two foreign languages are always a plus. I was going to also suggest that you look at George Washington University but you are clearly already a fan, hence the gwu2012. </p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
