<p>is it really much harder to get into the SFS than the college?</p>
<p>this has been discussed a lot, you should run a search.</p>
<p>More people apply to the college, acceptance rates are a bit lower.</p>
<p>Around the campus, the SFS has more prestige, and most of the students within the SFS are known as being some of the most intense.</p>
<p>It really doesn't matter either way, because you should be applying to the one that is right for you.</p>
<p>Actually, statistically, the hardest way to get accepted to Georgetown is through the college undeclared. I'm in the SFS and the consensus among SFS kids is that the SFS is better, but a college kid would never admit that, neither would an MSB or NHS kid. It all depends on what you want to do. Remember that the SFS has a very specific curriculum and very limited majors...maybe that is not what you want, or maybe it is. There is much less flexibility in the SFS than in the college, yet I feel that there is more of a sense of community in the SFS and you would probably be better off in terms of internships and things of that nature...though you would still be well off in the college. The truth is that college kids can take any SFS classes and vice versa. Some people will tell you that this isn't true, but the schools always let kids take classes they want. Im in STIA and most people in my upper level STIA courses are government majors. From what I've seen, a lot of SFS kids are pretty big on creating the image that they have a million things to do and that they are the perfect students and hardest workers and are single handedly saving the world on their way to the presidency, yet on the whole, people are really chill and just into learning stuff that they're interested in learning. Do not let the prestige thing push you one way or another because you won't do well unless you are happy. I know kids that have transferred from SFS to MSB, from MSB to college, from college to NHS and College to SFS so even if you feel you made the wrong decision, you can always transfer between schools. But to get back to your original question, the hardest school to get into is the college undeclared, statistically, yet there seems to be a consensus, among SFS kids mostly, that our application process was more thorough or difficult. Good luck.</p>
