<p>I'm just wondering. While you're at it what colleges have a good SFS?</p>
<p>Well I know George Washington also has their own undergrad school of IR, and they said they were one of five. Georgetown is another. Princeton has Woodrow Wilson, but you get accepted after your freshman year. I don't know the other two that actually have undergrad IR schools. Tufts, JHU, and Columbia are also very good, but I don't think they have their own undergrad schools.</p>
<p>American also has a school of international service. Tufts is also good...Johns Hopkins I think you might get accepted into the program after your freshman year (but their grad school, SAIS, is among the best). Columbia has a lot of gen-ed that is not related to IR, so I would not exactly consider it a school within the school...but it might have a decent program, who knows.</p>
<p>Anybody have admission numbers just for gtown SFS?</p>
<p>SFS acceptance rate is something like 22%, I think.</p>

<p>It's lower than that, isn't it?</p>
<p>Well, seeing as I just said

Why would I say, "Yes, it's lower than that?"</p>
<p>It's around 22%, the same as the College. But experts (and by experts, I mean dorks on CC who volunteer for the sole purpose of college apps, got 5's on AP Statistics, and bought special heavy paper to print their essay on) say the SFS pool is more "self-selecting" -- a naturally more competitive group of people apply. It's harder to get in the SFS than the other colleges, but that fact doesn't express itself through the percentages.</p>
<p>How does the competition in terms of admission compare to their business school? (I'm assuming SFS is harder)</p>
<p>Also, is it possible to dual-major (or dual-degree or whatever it's called) between the business school and SFS, or is there some sort of interdisciplinary major?</p>
<p>No, you can't double major if you're in SFS. Georgetown is for International POLITICS, if you want international business try the Huntsman program at Penn.</p>
<p>SFS stats from Georgetown's Admission's newsletter for Spring 2006
SAT range V 690-790
SAT range M 670-760
Total 1360-1550
Percentile Rank 95.8 on average.</p>
<p>for prior year
SAT V 700-780
SAT M 680-770</p>
<p>The 1380-1550 range is probably the range that is comparable to the US News 2007 Stats since the stats used seem to be from 2005 for all the schools.</p>
<p>My composite score is a little higher than the average, but one problem. My verbal is at the low end (700) and my math is at the high end (800), I wish it was the other way around.</p>
<p>The SFS pool is extremely self-selective. I would also say that the way SFS does admissions is often hard to figure out. Routinely you'll see kids who get into Harvard or Yale get outright rejected in the SFS process, more often than not. </p>
<p>But yeah based on SAT ranges and grades the SFS applicant pool and admitted/enrolled pool is at the very top of US schools.</p>
<p>And just for a little added perspective on how hard it is to get in to the SFS. My school had 22 Georgetown acceptances from my class. Two of us got into the SFS. We were the first people in 12 years to get into the SFS coming from my school, which has an extraordinarily strong connection to Georgetown, as evidenced by the 20 non-SFS acceptances in my year alone.</p>
<p>sorry but i thought columbia didnt have IR as a major? so, i would think that if i wanted to major in IR, i would have to apply to a college who does have it as a major?</p>
<p>Tufts, JHU, and Georgetown are the top schools with undergraduate IR programs.</p>
<p>Columbia's grad school for international affairs is pretty famous, but I don't know how much that carries over to undergrad. But it's still Columbia. I'm sure the Poli Sci with IR concentration is fantastic.</p>
