Georgetown

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm interested in applying to Georgetown, but I'm not sure if I should apply to the McDonough School of Business or the Walsh School of Foreign Service. The acceptance rates vary between the two, year to year, but are both roughly 20%. Walsh's median CR was 680-780, business was 640-740; Walsh's median math was 670-770, business was 670-770.</p>

<p>My credentials are abridged as follows:</p>

<p>SAT CR: 730
SAT Math: 690
SAT Writing: 790 (I don't think Georgetown looks at Writing)
APUSH: 5
SAT World History: 780
SAT USH: 800
SAT Math II: 660</p>

<p>First in a class of ~170, 98.3 average with four (max allowed) AP courses.</p>

<p>Former State President of FBLA, National Executive Treasurer and National Communications Director in FBLA, current State Executive VP of FBLA, </p>

<p>Handful of leadership positions within my school, student rep to different Board of Ed. committees, Big Brothers Big Sisters. </p>

<p>I live in a very rural, white community and have had little opportunity to express my interest in international relations (a suggestion for Walsh applicants, I believe).</p>

<p>You shouldn’t make your decision on which is more selective, especially since they’re pretty close. You seem like a good candidate so just pick whichever one offers more of what you’re looking for.</p>
