<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I am looking to apply to Georgetown's 5 year submatriculatin program where I can receive a BS in Business Administration and a Masters in Foreign Service upon graduation. </p>
<p>My question is: Does anyone know where I can find admissions statistics into the Master's in Foreign Service program in generall or the BSBA/MFS program in particular? Many many thanks; I am truly oblivious so far to graduate school admissions!</p>
<p>Thanks for the quick answer--I was hoping more to hear something along the lines of 25% or more likely, 6% admissions rate. Anywhere I can get that info?</p>
<p>I'm not sure if you can find that info.</p>
<p>I'm not familiar with the 5-year Georgetown MA program... do you apply when you are applying for admissions as a freshman, or do you apply in your sophomore or junior years?</p>
<p>I know the Johns Hopkins SAIS 5 year BA/MA program you apply when you are a sophomore... roughly 8-9 out of about 30-40 students get accepted, if thats any help.</p>
<p>I'll be applying next year as a junior to the submatriculation program. I was actually accepted last month as a transfer to Georgetown from GW. I figure if I'm already convinced an MSFS will be helpful to my professional goals, I might as well apply now while I'm a "pro" at applications rather than wait 3 or so years after I get out of school.</p>
<p>Mac - why not just call 'em? The worst that can happen is they'll say they don't publish the information, in which case you'll know that anyone claiming to <em>know</em> is full of it!</p>
<p>Yeah you might want to call them to find out not only what the stats are, but whether or not your transfer status will affect admissions decisions.</p>
<p>I know at Hopkins, SAIS has historically not accepted students who transfered in for the 5 year BA/MA program.</p>
<p>I think if you're already a Georgetown student, it's decently easy to get in as long as you have something like a 3.5 GPA in your major. I'm not sure the exact details for Foreign Service, but I know the 5 year masters programs for Spanish and Linguistics (my majors-i'm applying for 5 year masters program for my department as well) accept most of the top students that apply, provided they meet whatever GPA/other cutoffs that are set. Again, this is for linguistics and not for foreign service, so it might be a lot more competitive or have different standards.</p>
<p>I don't know about the BBA/MSFS program, but from what I recall them saying when I visited the MSFS program is that they typically receive about 800-1000 applications each year and aim for an incoming class of about 100. I have no idea if that includes any joint degree programs, but probably not.</p>
<p>Also, you might look at the Georgetown Public Policy Institute as well. I don't know if they have dual BA/MA programs but I do know that it's possible to specialize in international affairs in that program, too.</p>
<p>Anyhoo, I say that it's best to call or drop by and ask about the admit rates for the dual degree program. Also, it might be worthwhile to talk with some current students and/or faculty about what you want to do and whether the MSFS program is a good fit for that. Personal contact with the department seems to count a little bit more in grad admissions than in undergrad, so stopping by would also let you make some connections there too. Good luck!</p>
