<p>How competitive is freshmen admission to the School of Media and Public Affairs? If I don't get in, will they still accept me to Columbian?</p>
<p>Hard. Not as hard as, say, a JD program, but still hard.</p>
<p>I’m not sure if you can apply to multiple majors as freshman, so I’ll defer to someone else.
I say… apply to what you really want to study. If you don’t get in, go somewhere else where you can study what it is that you want to study.</p>
<p>Yes, even if you don’t get in to SMPA, you could get into Columbian.</p>
<p>And SMPA is hard to get in as a freshman, but they do accept transfers. If you want to transfer in, watch requirements, and try to get a few in as a freshman.</p>
<p>I’m not sure I am right in this one, but I think only 80 Freshmen get in as transfers out of a few hundred. you need to apply with an essay. you need to apply after 45 credits, before junior year</p>
