<p>Hey, I got a call today saying I was accepted into the Liberal arts seminar. Did anyone else apply/get accepted to the program?</p>
<p>Congratulations. I just got an email too and am pretty excited. Do you think you'll say yes? What will you major in? I think I might transfer to SFS after a year and I'm not sure about the courses, but it does sound great.</p>
<p>yes....I think i'm going to say yes. I plan to major in government, and studying the 19th century would be so helpful. Where are you from qwerty?</p>
<p>I'm from the US. And I think I'll say yes too...I'm just afraid of conflicting schedules cause LAS is three times a week from 2-ish to 5-ish.. and if the courses will be compatible with SFS if I do transfer. What do you think?</p>
<p>I was just reading that they accept 30 out of 3200. Wow, that is less than 1 percent... <em>is shocked</em> </p>
<p>And what are the chances any of the 30 people will have accounts on this forum? Hehe, so glad we're in the same boat :)</p>
<p>Which Gtown school are you guys going to?</p>
<p>I'm going to the college.</p>
<p>Hey Qwerty, where in the US? I think someone was pulling your leg. The seminar is only open to 1st year students, and there are definitely less than 3200 of us.</p>
<p>i may be wrong, but isn't the las only open to freshman students in georgetown college?</p>
<p>Ohhh...I forgot that it's only open to 1st year students. So that's 30 out of 1500 1st years = 2%</p>
<p>haha, thanks :)</p>
<p>Did you apply to get into this?</p>
<p>yeah...we had to apply...and i'm pretty sure not everyone applied</p>
<p>oh, is this one of the pre-orientation programs that came with our new student orientation packets?</p>
<p>I don't think it's a pre-orientation program since it's for the whole year. This link is pretty helpful:<br>

<p>not 30 out of 1500...
1500 is the entire class of 2009
college has approxmiately 750 people.
and not all of the 750 people applied.
so that should be around 6-10% if approximately 300-500 people applied.
still...very impressive statistics.</p>
<p>anyway...how many credits is this class?</p>
<p>18 credits i believe</p>
<p>that makes sense....3 courses per sem....9 credits per sem...right?</p>
<p>If you guys want to know, I had a few friends in it last year. Extremely demanding courseload, lots of long papers and tons of ultra-liberal philosophy. If you do decide to do it, get ready for a year of Kant, Hagel, Shopenhaur, Hume, etc</p>
<p>What classes are you guys thinking of taking? All the pre-orientation classes, scheduling, and how the Liberal Arts Seminar fits into all of it seems very confusing! For instance, Gtown says they'll give credit for AP which would make you free to take other classes, but if the LAS is a small group of people, aren't the students doing the same courses? I didn't receive any info in the mail, but it might take a few days. Thanks again in advance :)</p>
