<p>also about summer school, are the proffesors the same that usually teach the classes? In other words, am I going to get the same quality education as during the school year? Thanks.</p>
<p>For the beach question, I really don't know. I'm sure you can find ways to get down to the beach, especially if you have a friend with a car. The professors during the summer are many regular faculty I think. If you know who you have I can tell you if they are or not.</p>
<p>Is GTown really hard (for example, UChicago has a reputation of being really hard)? is gtown the same or not really?</p>
<p>It depends who you are and what you are taking. I have friends that work all day every day and those who do nothing at all and get the same grades. It's just like any other college where if you know what to take with which professors and do your work, you will be fine</p>
<p>im transferring into the College for this Fall. any suggestions on how to make the transition more smooth. also i was thinking of doing SIH, specifically living well, my only concern was whether or not doing a SIH sort of restricts you in any way as far as social interaction goes as compared to living else where. also being that im going to be a sophmore, where would i reside as part of Living well? thanks.</p>
<p>The best beaches within driving distance are in Maryland - Rehoboth is probably the one you'll want to visit. I've got a friend with a summer share up there, and I always have an amazing time when I visit. Other people go to Ocean City, MD or Atlantic City; some people go all the way to the OBX. You'll need a car, though - you definitely won't want to swim in the Potomac.</p>
<p>I want to do pre-med. Is that really hard?</p>
<p>Pre-med can be pretty rough, I have a few friends that started as pre-med but dropped because of the workload. However, not everybody does and I know many others who are still pre-med. If you are really dedicated to it, it won't be that bad</p>
<p>Who are some of the better professors for the following?</p>
<p>Economics 001/002
Philosophy 099 (The ProSeminar)</p>
<p>I know a lot of adjunct professors are used, but there must be some full time professors teaching the course..</p>
<p>I had Levinson for ECON 001 and he was awesome. That being said, I am an econ and math double major, so those things come really easily to me and I know a lot of people that had very different experiences. I would recommend Levinson for Microecon, as he seemed to be the best of all those that taught it. I didn't take ECON 002 so I wouldn't know who to tell you, but if you wait until your 2nd semester to do that, I'm sure you'll meet someone that will tell you who to take for it. Don't know anything about the Proseminars, sorry.</p>
<p>Levinson is the hardest but most straight forward. Which will come in handy. Prosem, take Dean Hill he rocks! Andretta is good too I hear. DeGioia is cool coz you get to have dibber with the fanous people that come on campus, but he is really hard and very intense.</p>
<p>Stupid Questions...
How do we find out who our academic advisor is? Are we supposed to contact them, or do they contact us? When do freshmen register for classes and how do we know what we are supposed to be taking? I'm getting kind of anxious because all my friends at other universities already went to orientation and have their scheldules for next year. Maybe it works differently on the East coast...</p>
<p>tlaktan, are you registering for classes and professors already? How do you do that?</p>
<p>I'm not registering, just browsing at the course syllabi.</p>
<p>Hrm. I don't have time for any of the pre-orientation stuff. That sucks.. However, CMEA... I will register for.. =)..</p>
<p>Any suggestions which meal plan is best?</p>
<p>Is anybody planning on applying (or have already applied) for any of the first year programs?</p>
<p>hi~</p>
<p>i understand that there will be fierce competition between students to get into the international relations program at Georgetown and i will probably have a hard time getting into that popular major.</p>
<p>will i have a greater chance to get into the university by applying for a major that is slightly related to IR and transfer into IR later?</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Um. I'm not a ** current ** student, but a matriculating one nonetheless. I think I can field this one.</p>
<p>International Relations isn't a major at Georgetown, to my knowledge. Rather, GU has a whole school dedicated to international studies; that is, the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service (better known as SFS). </p>
<p>Competition to enter the SFS, as many of us '09ers have found out this past year, is fierce. The acceptance rate is about 20%, and the number of applicants seemingly grows by the year. </p>
<p>Theoretically, if you really wanted to study at Georgetown, then you could pick up a Government major and double major/minor in a language or something, but the specialized international majors are at the School of Foreign Service.</p>
<p>I <em>think</em> also that the MSB has International Business (if that's your thing) and NHS has International Health...so if you're interested in one of those then you apply to the other schools.</p>
<p>thanks for the clarification and suggestion ~</p>
<p>does anyone know if the Georgetown admission officers look more at our GPAs, SAT score, essays, or EC??? how about AP scores?</p>
