<p>I mean, should I apply directly into it, or should I apply to the main campus, then transfer?</p>
<p>Also, how do I indicate that I am applying to the Walsh school directly? </p>
<p>Finally, what are the Georgetown essays? I guess I'll find out what they are once I open an application, but since I'm already here, what are they?</p>
<p>
Admissions rate/statistics pretty similar to the College.</p>
<p>
Apply where you want to be.</p>
<p>
You will be asked on the application.</p>

<p>Essay One</p>
<p>ALL APPLICANTS: The Admissions Committee would like to know more about you in your own words. Please respond to one of the following two prompts: (A) Please submit a brief essay, either personal or creative, which you feel best describes you. OR (B) Describe an experience you have had living or working in a diverse community. How might that experience help you to contribute to the life of a university community like Georgetown’s?</p>
<p>Essay Two</p>
<p>APPLICANTS TO GEORGETOWN COLLEGE: Please relate your interest in studying at Georgetown University to your goals. How do these thoughts relate to your chosen course of study? (If you are applying to major in the FLL or in a Science, please specifically address those interests.)</p>
<p>APPLICANTS TO THE SCHOOL OF NURSING & HEALTH STUDIES: Describe how your experiences or ideas shaped your decision to pursue a health profession and how these experiences or ideas may aid your future contribution to the field.</p>
<p>APPLICANTS TO THE WALSH SCHOOL OF FOREIGN SERVICE: Briefly discuss a current global issue, indicating why you consider it important and what you suggest should be done to deal with it.
**
APPLICANTS TO THE MCDONOUGH SCHOOL OF BUSINESS:** Briefly describe the factors that have influenced your interest in studying business.</p>
<p>This is one of the most commonly-raised questions here. The short answer is that the SFS (Walsh School of Foreign Service) is slightly more competitive than the university as a whole, but that the benefits of applying to one of the less selective schools are very small and unlikely to make difference, particularly if your application demonstrates a better fit for the SFS.</p>
<p>Once you get to Georgetown, transferring schools is fairly simple, but it is not a “sure thing”. In general, it’s relatively easy to transfer into the College, but harder to transfer into the other schools because of 1) restrictive core requirements and 2) the prospect of having an internal transfer rejected. When I applied to Georgetown, I asked an admissions officer about this issue and was told that it was often not hard to transfer into the SFS, but that it was relatively easy to transfer into other schools. I assume that she knew what she was talking about, but in my years at Georgetown, I knew several people who transferred into the SFS without difficulty. Nonetheless, it is not assured, so if you want to study in the SFS, you ought to apply there.</p>
<p>In short, trying to game the system by applying to a school perceived as “less competitive” with the aim of ending up in the SFS is not a good plan.</p>

<p>100% agree.</p>
<p>Ok thanks. So far Walsh seems like a good school for me. I looked at their program and its really awesome. Yet, I’m thinking about maybe going for an easier school that also has a good foreign program. What do you guys think of George Washington or American? </p>
<p>I hear George Washington requires a lot of supplements. Elaborate if you know what they are. I don’t want to do a lot of work since I already have other difficult schools to worry about. </p>
<p>How urban is Georgetown?</p>
<p>Not very… Georgetown itself is a small college town… has a nice restaurant and shopping scene…</p>
