<p>I had the impression that you can take courses in one if you are in the other or switch schools if you want to change your major, but apparently its not that easy. </p>
<p>I'm a government major (probably) but I also want to do some international relations and don't want to cut myself off completely from the options of theatre/english/women's & gender studies so I'm now just really confused.</p>
<p>Also not sure that I would even have a chance at SFS as I only have a GCSE in French
(I'm an international student from the UK). So I've only done it to the age of 16. I do have a really strong interest in international relations, especially chinese/korean and I want to learn Chinese at college, but would my lack of languages put me out of the running</p>
<p>my SATs were:
CR: 760
W: 730
M: 650</p>
<p>US hist: 690
Maths I: 680
Literature: 740</p>
<p>I'm predicted 4 A* and an A at A level (18+ exams) in English, History, Politics, Philosophy and Drama</p>
<p>Anyone have any advice?</p>
<p>Your SATs and everything else are wayy wayy beyond what is nessecary for Georgetown. As a UK applicant myself, I fear the likes of you will blow me out of the water. Have no qualms about Georgetown, K?</p>
<p>You could apply to the Honors college of most top Universities as far as I can see, knowing full well that American Universities are very leniant on foreign EC lists. Are you applying to the University of Chicago, Bennington, Swarthmore - Universities like those? Ivy’s even?</p>
<p>If you have the results to get into a top University in a big city, please try and do so won’t you? I know a someone whom is applying to Georgetown with just GCSE’s believe it or not.</p>
<p>Yeah, you’re set to be one of the top prospects they’re gonna get, easily. Achieving A at A Level is usually a lot harder than maintaining a strong GPA. If you have reasonable EC’s then I want to shake your hand in congratulations already. Gosh!</p>
<p>Go for the College, especially given your diverse interests. The SFS is great, but it can be somewhat constricting, since won’t be able to double major with theater (which is part of the College). Of course, you could always transfer from the SFS to the College, if you feel the need. The core requirements are basically the same, so it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.</p>
<p>It sounds like the college would be a better fit for you. You could major in Political Science, study foreign languages and still take the other classes that interest you.
Also, please don’t be mislead by the poster above (number 2).
Georgetown is extremely selective and definitely considered a “top university” in the US.
Also, with your interests you should take a look at Tufts;)</p>
