<p>AP scores I didn't send, because I got a 1 on Physics and I'm sure that didn't look good. I loathe Physics, and it was the last AP test of the year, so no further explanation is necessary...I think a combo of GPA, SAT, and EC..all of it.</p>
<p>Do you have any experience in either of these majors, linguistics and comparative literature, at georgetown or could you recommend one being any better than the other in terms of better proffessors etc. that a current student may know?</p>
<p>when applying to SFS, do they look favorably upon people who have studied and worked abroad in a specific area? How do they judge Americans versus international applicants?</p>
<p>I am a double major in math and econ, so I know quite a bit about those subjects and departments, but not really too much about some others. I'm not the person to ask about linguistics or literature, sorry. The application is a crapshoot. In general, I think they really like international experience though. Even though I'm in the college, I studied abroad twice in high school and spoke fluent French when I applied, which I think made a big difference in the application.</p>
<p>I was wondering..what is the parents attendance for the orientation programs like? Should I encourage my parents to go? I am an international student and they are coming with me to drop me off but we weren't sure how long they should stay. </p>
<p>Also, I've been working on my schedule. It is my freshman year and I want to major in Government. I took the AP english and AP calc BC exam and I expect to do okay to good. Should I still register for Calc and an english course? How do these courses look together for 1st semester</p>
<p>Microecon, Int'l Relations, Calc, Russian, Problem of God</p>
<p>I dont really know much about parents attendance. My dad dropped me off and left after about an hour that day while other parents stayed like the whole move in weekend. The schedule seems like a good one for a first semester, although you will have AP scores back before you need to register (I think registration happens in like late July for incoming freshman) so you can see then about placing out of stuff.</p>
<p>hey...
noisette...if you are an international student...you should definitely consider attending IPO....
i dont know...but you dont seem to be knowledgeable about it...but you should definitely think about attending it..as it is the orientation program for intl. students...
last year..many parents came with their children....i was alone though...it didnt make a difference..
i had a great time.
contact me if you have any further questions regarding ipo</p>
<p>You may be able to place out of it, which would be nice. First and second-year Russian are intensive, 6 credits a semester and every day, so you may want to consider only taking 3 other classes with it, at least for your first semester. 15 credits is the average anyway.</p>
<p>Hi..</p>
<p>I requested Korean (intensive, but shouldn't be too difficult), Microecon with Levinson (sp?), THEO 001, PHIL 099, and the Proseminar (w/ Anthony Lake..)</p>
<p>This seem okay? I know Korean pretty well, and from the reviews of the professor and the textbook being used, it shant be too difficult..</p>
<p>Hello! I was also wondering, is Intensive I Level Russ I an semester course or year course? And then if I start from I Level Russ I, how semesters before I fulfill the requirement through Russian? I looked online and it said that you only need to take up to Russ 012 - I Level Russ II.</p>
<p>Intensive First Level Russian I (RUSS-011) is a 6 credit semester course. Intensive First Level Russian II, which is RUSS-012, is the next semester and is meant to be taken immediately after the preceding course.</p>
<p>i have a question. Is it really harder to get into college than sfs? Also, how easy is it to transfer from the college to sfs after a year in college?</p>
<p>As of right now, I am picking and choosing the courses that I want to take in the fall. I am in the college and I am an English Major looking at the Gateway classes offered. Many of the classes I want have only 2 or 3 seats left. Is it wise for me to select these classes as my primary and alternate choices? What happens if both my primary and alternate class choices are closed by the time my schedule is processed? Should I just go with something with my open seats?</p>
<p>If anybody is still reading this thread...My rising-senior son is in the International Relations program this summer and will probably apply this Fall. He loves D.C. and is seriously interested in politics, history, economics and the like, but also likes to spend lots of time playing sports and music. Is there (1) a sizable population of competitive intramural athletes and (2) a good symphony orchestra and jazz band? Or does the student population tend to be more single minded about their studies and career-focused? Thanks.</p>
<p>What are the best on-campus jobs?</p>
<p>work study or non-work study?</p>
<p>i was just wondering if there are any GT people who transfered thier junior year? how did you like it...how was it like adjusting? what was a great way to meet people and oh one more thing I was wondering how is the socail life of the pre-med majors over there(maybe those two don't belong in the same sentence but w/e). Are parties hard to get into or are people over nice? tell about the girls(stuck up or down to earth) thanks guys and girls. i am thinking about transfering from my current school( about 1400 students) at the end of this year.</p>
<p>man ok i am done for now thanks everyone <^_^>/</p>
<p>non-work study</p>
<p>do non work study and work study...for both of us!</p>
<p>OK, so for work-study, I'd say any job that pays well, the work study jobs tend to be very unexciting, but pay very well. If you're in to science definetely look for one at the medical center, I mean that's almost like getting an internship. If not, any desk job at a department ususally have their perks: free food, nice people, free supplies, etc, etc. If your non-work study, like myself, your options are limited, buyt never fear, the Corp is here. The Corp is a student-run network of businesses: vital vittles and hoya snaxa (convenience stores), Uncommon Grounds Midnight mug and More Uncommon Grounds (coffe places). These are greta places to work. I work at UG (Uncommon Grounds) and I have had the best time of my life there. Granted the pay is minimal, but the people are so nice at UG and at teh Corp in general, it's a great place to meet friends and other AWESOME PEOPLE. Know that I have gotten my UG (Corp) Love out of my system, you must know that there is a wealth of jobs off campus ,a couple blocks away, they are much more demnading, and require previous experience. They usually wnat you to work at least 20 hrs a week. Nevertheless there is so many opportunities off campus.</p>
