Hey y’all
So basically I’m just curious about the sfs essay. I know that there are a bunch of posts about it on CC already, but everyone is saying different things. I guess I’m just trying to get more info.
My question is directed at people who were accepted into sfs and people who are currently applying:
Did you write your sfs essay like a research paper or a personal essay?
I have 4 cited sources in mine and absolutely no mention of myself. Is that okay? Some threads here say yeah and some say no lol. Maybe the admissions officers don’t care. I have no idea at this point.
Any and all input will make me very happy.
can any body find me somebody to love/somebody to answer my question I will love you for it
I only know about my two students’ who were admitted to Georgetown College and they were deeply personal.
I think Georgetown college has a different prompt from the school of foreign service… I appreciate your response though 
Below is a quote from the page on GU’s Walsh SFS.
<<The Georgetown University undergraduate application is highly personalized to fit the unique stories, personalities, and aspirations of our prospective students. Georgetown uses its own online application for admission, and through this application, students will submit materials specific to the School of Foreign Service. An interview with a Georgetown alumnus will be coordinated for almost all applicants, serving as a useful tool for prospective students to round out their written applications.
While an applicant’s academic performance is the most important criterion under consideration for admission, we also look for accomplishments outside of the classroom, demonstrated commitment to the broader community, and personal qualities such as resiliency, motivation, and ambition. It is these qualities that prepare an individual to become part of the Georgetown tradition of cura personalis, prepared to both add to and benefit from the Georgetown community.
Although we can’t provide you the magic formula, we can give you the typical profile of an admitted student:
Strong academic performance in the most rigorous curriculum offered by their secondary school
Leaders and influencers with the desire to make a difference
Strong interest in the complex mechanics of our world
Engagement in their communities
Excitement to learn from, lead, and change the world>>
I did not provide citations as I did not cite specific statistics or findings. Mine was academic and personal as I wanted them to know why I was passionate about the issue I chose and how it related to my background
