<p>is it possible to switch concentrations upon matriculation? i dont mean switch from english major to sociology...something along the lines of transferring from the college to the woody woo program, or maybe engineering...juss curious</p>
<p>yes, you can switch concentrations, even from AB to BSE.</p>
<p>but what are the chances that u can get into woody woo? there are only a set number of slots i hear..... :(</p>
<p>i sent my app in mid november...so i dont think it would be a good idea to call and switch</p>
<p>it doesn't really matter what you said on your app, unless its a BSE, i believe...
but you can always switch, so long as there is space.
but get in first :) :) (i haven't gotten in yet either)</p>
<p>You apply for the woody woo program once you are already there...in like the end of freshman year or sometime in sophomore year. And there are only like 100ish spots. So, you don't have to switch anything...I don't think you even have to switch now between BSE and AB. It's not binding.</p>
<p>wow, great info zante! thanks :)</p>
<p>Welcome :p</p>
<p>Yeah, you can only apply for Woody Woo at the end of your sophomore year. They usually give about 90 spots to each applicant class, the majority of those to concentrators and a small amount to certificates. Woody Woo is a part of the AB program, so you wouldn't have to "transfer" schools (although as zante said, that's not really even what you do now) unless you were coming from BSE. However, that spring of sophomore year is the only time you can apply to Woody Woo. If you decide during your junior or senior year that you'd prefer to do the program, it's too late because they've already admitted your class's applicants. Nevertheless, you can still take WWS classes, although priority always goes to WWS students.</p>
<p>hey phil, how do u think woody woo compares with gtown's SFS?</p>
<p>well, here's the thing: it depends on whether you're looking strictly at the department/school or the university as a whole (i.e. SFS v. WWS or Georgetown v Princeton). Woody Woo is great, but I think it's appeal lies largely in the professors who teach there (the curriculum vitae is just off the chart) and in the colloquia, lectures, conferences, and seminars held outside of class in the affiliated Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies. Class-wise, it's okay, but the curriculum isn't nearly as broad or in-depth as SFS imo. SFS offers you 7 majors within its school. WWS isn't even technically a school, but rather a department, and you take broad courses in public and international affairs/policy. Nevertheless, it offers great opportunities through its policy task forces (both at-school and abroad) and the opportunity to work with people at the front of the field (although SFS does too). Now, on the graduate school, WWS is as good as they come; I'd love to take some graduate courses there. This is one instance (and an understandable one) where Princeton's more dedicated to the graduate study than the undergraduate.</p>
<p>I was planning on applying to SFS too, and if it were on academic merit alone, I would have chosen SFS. But there were many other things about Princeton that appealed to me, so I went with Pton ED.</p>
<p>i think you're right when you say that to answer my question, you have to divide between whether we're comparing Princeton v. G'town or SFS v. Woody Woo....the proximity of g'town to the major legislative bodies in the US makes its location ideal in the area of government and political studies...but i really like the task force projects and recommendations about policy matters that the Woody Woo kids do....i dunno, i applied to both RD, so we'll see....</p>
<p>lol phil, were you drawn to this question because of the spanish? hehe</p>
<p>as an aspiring writer, the professors at Princeton's English Department are much more attractive (in terms of literary achievement)....so i think as a whole, Princeton has much more to offer when you look at the whole package...i don't wanna take four years of international policy classes, so it would be nice having an interesting class with Tony Morrison or Cornell West (although I think Cornell West only teaches theology classes if im not mistaken)</p>
<p>Yea but Cornel West is an amazing lecturer and his religion classes aren't like super-religious or anything. He likes talking about democracy in america.</p>
<p>Lol, zante, how did you know? I definitely thought people were hablando en espa</p>
<p>Oh pero Woody Woo te importa tambien!</p>
<p>s</p>
<p>lol
Pues, estoy hablando en espanol, solamente por ti, phil. Lo siento que no tenga acentos, estoy demasiado perezosa ahora. Debo estudiar para mi examen de calculo pero calc es cruel y estoy sentiendome rebelde. Todavia estas divertiendose con su nueva camera? Pues, tus vacasiones se terminen tambien y tengas que trabajar. Que lastima ::sarcasmo:: jaja</p>
<p>Detesto el c</p>
