i believe when you are accepted to the specific school, you can choose any major in that school
@123Mom123 great news!!
Only the IB one right? Not stacking with other?
Son got accepted very excited, 3.5 UWGPA, 1480 SAT and 2 varsity sports. The thing is he got merit $ from 3 other schools with similar or higher ranking, but nothing from GW.

Congrats! Also waiting on Harvard to make the final decision, but my son has some great choices, even if Georgetown broke him.
Accepted w/20K Presidential scholarship
Wow, that is so impressive! As a physician, I can’t tell you how much I would have given for a combined BA/MD program. Not just the one year saved, but the decreased stress level throughout undergrad would have made everything so much more enjoyable. Good for your son!! (And D.C. is just an extra perk!)

Rejected - Submitted on January 30th for the extended deadline and with a waiver provided (unsure if this had a significant influence on my decision).
Applied to: Elliott School of International Affairs (Primary), and Columbian College of Arts and Sciences (Secondary).
Major: International Affairs/Political Science.
Responded to Essay Prompt 2 with a strong essay about a serious topic.
Stats:
GPA: 3.9 (UW) 4.8 (W).
No test scores submitted.
Extracurriculars: Prominent state/international leadership position, founder of a global creative arts organization, VP of 3 clubs (MUN, Service NHS, Theatre), choir, volunteer at community theatre, creative director of school show, etc. (several other leadership throughout high school).
Internship at a state nonprofit.
Research with an Ivy League University student.
Accepted into schools like Swarthmore (~9% acceptance) and University of Florida - Honors Program (13% acceptance).
I was very surprised by my GW decision. Is it because I submitted my application later? Any thoughts?
I know saying yield protection is controversial so I won’t say it…
I will say that I also submitted my app on the extended deadline w/ fee waiver and got in so that by itself shouldn’t have made too big a difference.
