<p>I'm currently at junior and Georgetown is definitely my number one school at this point. I REALLY want to attend the SFS, but if I don't get into SFS, I still want to go to GC. I know that you can't apply to both, so what would be the best way to go about this?</p>
<p>I would just apply to SFS, but it seems like my chances would be considerably lower and in the event that I wasn't accepted, I would not be able to attend GT at all... on the flip side, would it be possible to just apply to the College, (hopefully) get in, and then transfer to SFS? How difficult is it to transfer from one college to another?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for helping me out! I REALLY want to attend Georgetown, whether at the college or SFS, so I'm trying to figure out the best way to increase my chances at going to one or the other...</p>
<p>I heard that it’s easy to transfer between the schools, unless they see that you absolutely have no idea what you’re doing. But if your ECs and essays are politics-oriented, I’m afraid they might suspect that you want a later transfer…</p>
<p>for someone to transfer into the sfs, someone must transfer out, which is pretty rare. so if you want sfs, i would apply to the sfs, because there’s almost no chance you’ll be able to transfer in later.</p>
<p>I talked to my GC about this and she said that the applicant pool for Political Science/Political Economy in the College is extremely similar to that of SFS, so while SFS has the stereotype of being much more competitive, applying to the College doesn’t give you too much of a boost. I agree with previous posters - better to apply to the school that you really want to go to. Good luck!</p>
<p>I agree with everyone else that you should apply to SFS if that is what you want. That being said, it is not too difficult to transfer in once you are at Georgetown, but you can’t do it until the end of your first year. This tends to cause some problems with fulfilling requirements (there are SFS-required courses that only SFS students can take), so it really is better and easier to start in the school you want to end up in.</p>
