<p>Today, I got a letter by the head of the french department of the FLL, explaining how the program works, what the French major includes, etc., and asking me to call or e-mail if I had any more questions. Do they send these out by the millions, or should I consider it a good sign? Also, I happen to plan on majoring in an FLL program, but not French, Linguistics, but I would still plan on taking some frenhc classes, because I really like the subject. Should I make this clear?</p>
<p>Also, I posted the following in another thread, but since the thread wasn't about this, I didn't get any responses, so I thought I'd include it here:</p>
<p>"I knew you had to apply to the Languages and Linguistics program, though I didn't know you couldn't be undecided. I'm pretty sure I want to major in Linguistics, but, just in case, how easy is it to switch? What about switching to a non-language major, though still one in the college (not like switching to SFS)? Or switching from another major to FLL? Also, is it more competitive? Less so? I am almost 100% sure I will be applying to the FLL regardless of the answers, but I'm curious nevertheless."</p>
<p>Please respond to either (or both) questions. Thanks.</p>
<p>Hey, Kit! I myself applied to the FLL (as a French major, coincidentally), but I have never received any email from Georgetown (seriously, I never even received a confirmation for my application). However, I was still accepted. ;)</p>
<p>As for being a "good sign," I would say probably not. I doubt that they would do emails such as these for any reason except to simply entice people to apply. But I really am not sure. I am guessing that you are applying for RD?</p>
<p>Kit- I was also just accepted to the FLL program for Spanish, and I never received a letter. I think that it is very easy to swithc majors within the FLL,s ay from French to Linguistics. Either one you mark would be fine. I know you can easily pick up a double major within the college or Business school through along w/your language in FLL, and I would assume since FLL is part of the college if you wanted to switch to another major completely like psychology or econ or whatever it would not be very difficult. You would not be switching to a whole separate school with a separate dean or anything. In answer to your other question...FLL could be considered less competetive but I think it could be considered equally so...FLL is looking for a strong veste interest in the program and studying languages or linguistics. If you demonstate that, then it could be considered easier to get into...your activities and grades in your language classes should show this interest. I would also take the French SAT2 if you havent. They like to see that.</p>
