<p>I visited georgetown last summer and really want to go there. I dont have an idea of what i want to do in the future as of now (in a way, i think im suitable for almost every field). I have a 2140 SAT and 3.7 unweighted GPA. I was just wondering what are some of the easier majors to get into, because getting in is the only thing that im concerned about right now.</p>
<p>I know what you’re looking for is an answer, so I’ll tell you conventional wisdom right now holds that the business school is easier to get into than the college, which is easier to get into than the SFS. The SFS, conventional wisdom says, is far and away the hardest to get into. Be very skeptical of conventional wisdom. To some extent the bit about the SFS may be more true than the others, since it’s pretty much the premier school of its kind, while the college, MSB, and NHS aren’t at the very top of university totem poles. </p>
<p>I’m, sure you’ve heard this before, and given that you’re asking this question you probably don’t believe it, but you really should apply in what you care about. For starters, adcoms are aware that students change their minds and change their major. They’re also aware that there are students out there that game the system. They also want people who are passionate about what they do. So they want to see evidence of your passion. If you apply as a chemistry major, yet all your extracuricular activities involve international relations, and you haven’t been taking advanced science classes, a big red flag is going to go up, both because they might question your sincerity, and because they might question your preparation and knowledge of the intensive stud of chemistry. If you were a HS freshman, you might have some grounds to start changing your EC’s and classes to match these artificial interests. But seeing as you have already taken the SAT’s, you should be aware that it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to adequately demonstrate interest in your discipline at this point in your junior or senior years. They want to see passion, no matter the situation. There’s especially a reputation for the college rejecting people who have demonstrated excessive interest in international relations, thinking they are trying to find a backdoor to the SFS. In summary, your chances of admission are limited if you don’t show particular passion in the area you’re applying.</p>
<p>It also might be noted that with the exception of international relations, science, language, health, and business majors, you technically apply as undeclared anyway.</p>
