<p>I'm a white female from New York. I moved from Houston, TX when I was 13 if it matters. I go to a high-ranking public HS. They don't rank students, but my counselor's guess is that I'm in the top 8%.</p>
<p>I've pretty much taken the most rigorous courses offered (a lot of honors, 6 APs total). Thus far, I've gotten one B in high school (88 in Physics). I'm expecting great recommendations, and I've gotten very good feedback on my essays.</p>
<p>I want to major in either linguistics, Spanish, int'l economics, or int'l relations.</p>
<p>Ah, and I was also wondering if it would be worth it to apply to SFS. The Georgetown rep. who visited my school claimed that SFS is no harder to get into than the College, but I highly doubt that's the truth. Should I apply to the College and just consider transfering to SFS after freshman year?</p>
<p>actually i think it is a lot harder. i was goign to apply to sfs too but then decided on the college instead - in case i changed my mind about my major and also cause it was easier to get in. i figured if after like 2 years i still decided i wanted to be in international stuff i could just switch in.</p>
<p>The acceptance rates for SFS and College are about the same. Switching schools isn't that hard though, you'd just have to plan ahead with respect to general ed requirements.</p>
<p>yeah, i've heard that too. but the down side is that you have to do it after freshman year ends so you might end up having to make up some core classes.</p>
<p>it's easy to transfer; however transferring from the college to the sfs is more difficult schedule-wise because the SFS core is much more specific than the college (ie, four econ classes, pst, map, history courses, language, etc).</p>
