<p>can you describe the course registration process</p>
<p>You register online with a set of primary and alternate courses ranked in order of what's most important. </p>
<p>I've never had a problem getting into classes I wanted/needed, and even if you don't usually professors will let you into the class anyway. </p>
<p>There's an add-drop period, but most people complain that it's too short, and it can be hard to switch into a new class later in add-drop because professors don't really seem to structure the first week of class around the fact that people will be leaving and coming in. </p>
<p>At any rate, in general it's pretty painless. When you're a first year student they give you a lot of guidance on what to pre-register for, and if you're in the SFS they basically tell you what to register for with the exception of your language.</p>
<p>What is the political atmosphere there?Is there a lot of liberals or a lot of conservatives or a pretty even number of both?</p>
<p>More liberal people say the school is too conservative and more conservative people say the school is too liberal. I'd say it's pretty much in the middle in terms of the student population, though the faculty veers more to the left than that.</p>
<p>I know that Georgetown is building a new science center that is set to be completed in 2010. Right now, do the sciences have less resources, technology, and equipment??? Also, how cutthroat is the biology department and are there tons of opportunities to do internships/research while doing regular classes and working part-time? Is there grade inflation or grade deflation?</p>
<p>Any tips you can share for being admitted to SFS from the wait list?</p>
