<p>that people think it is soo much harder to get into SFS than the other Georgetown schools
according tho their website:</p>

<pre><code> College SFS Business NHS Total
</code></pre>

<p>Applied 9,746 3,124 2,474 827 16,171
Accepted 1,917 616 578 194 3,305
Acceptance Rate .20 .20 .23 .22 .20
Percentile Rank 95.5 96.5 94.1 94.3 94.5
SAT- Reading 680-760 700-770 640-730 650-740 680-760
SAT- Math 670-760 680-760 670-770 660-740 670-760</p>

<p>the SAT scores are only 10 points higher for SFS compared to the college. SO i would hardly call that a much harder place to get into....the acceptance rates were the same too....granted this was data from 2007 but still...it probably hasn't changed that much.</p>

<p>sorry....im just kinda sick of people asking if they should apply to the college then transfer to SFS</p>

<p>People base "hard to get into" on more than just SAT scores. I agree that it's a misconception that it's a lot more difficult to get into SFS than the other schools, but the self-selectivity is undeniable and it can make things a bit more challenging if you don't demonstrate as much interest in IR. Do you have a better chance in getting into the College than SFS? Probably not. But people rely on more than numbers alone to form their thinking on this topic.</p>
