<p>is the language and linguistics program extra hard to get into because it's separate from the rest of the college of arts and sciences? </p>
<p>on the application you have to check that program separate of the normal college</p>
<p>The Faculty of Languages & Linguistics used to be its own school. It's now part of the College for administrative purposes, but it has different requirements, its own Tropaia ceremony, and a few other remaining distinctions.</p>
<p>i applied as a linguistics major (promptly switched to spanish once in), and i think my strong interest in languages helped me if anything. my interviewer was impressed that i was so focused.</p>
<p>you won't find stats on fll admission vs. the rest of the college because it's no longer its own school. from what i hear it is basically just nominal other than what dzleprechaun said.</p>
<p>My interviewer told me that for every 10 people who apply they can only take 2. He said it was at least better than either SFS or MSB (I can't remember which one he said sorry) because they take 1 person out of every 10.</p>
<p>I've heard that it is harder to get in because it is a smaller program, and one of the best in the country. However, it's not way harder to get into than the other schools, they just want to see that you are passionate and committed to languages. I applied to the FLL EA as a Spanish major (now I'm double majoring in Spanish/Linguistics). My advice would be to participate in some type of foreign language extracurricular, get an awesome letter of recommendation from a language teacher, and make sure that your "why i want to go to georgetown" essay shows why you really want to be in the FLL, and you'll be fine.</p>
<p>However, if you decide to apply to the College as undecided instead, it is very easy to switch into the FLL (all you have to do is fill out a form and give it to your dean.) The only thing is, if you are going to take that route, make sure you are enrolled in the correct language classes (language majors absolutely have to take intensive language classes up to advanced II, no exceptions), and are at the correct level.</p>
