<p>Is the McDonough undergraduate business school easier to get into than the SFS school? I have heard that the business school has slightly more lenient standards of admission than SFS, but I can't seem to find any quantitative data backing this up. Is there any veracity to this statement?</p>
<p>I think last year’s MSB class had an average ACT of 29-33, while the SFS was 31-34. I remember seeing that on a credible site. I don’t know where the link is.</p>
<p>No longer. SFS used to be Georgetown’s strongest department. The others have caught up and now are equally competitive in admit rate and student quality. McDonough is a top 10 undergraduate business program and has the lowest acceptance rate of the four schools at Georgetown. The program is on an upswing with a new $80 million building and dean from Harvard.</p>
<p>If the students were not all comparable in quality, the school would not allow all students to switch schools before they arrive on campus.</p>

<p>^ I feel that the admit rate on the above link is sort of misguiding… sfs appears to be the “easiest” school to get into based on sheer numbers, but students applying to sfs tend to have higher stats/are more competitive than the other three colleges</p>
<p>^thebat124 Although switching schools is possible, it is not as simple as arriving on campus in August and deciding that you were accepted to the MSB but you’ve had a change of heart and decide you want to be in the SFS, NHS, or the College. There is an internal application process you’d have to go through. Here is a very informative article on the process…</p>

<p>Last year about 30% of internal transfer requests to the MSB were granted. I remember at my new student orientation a year ago hearing one of the Deans (probably Dean Kaneda) welcoming the internal transfers and saying that internal acceptance rate into the SFS had been about 20%. I do agree with the article that most internal transfers are from the SFS, NHS, MSB to the College because students want more freedom in class choice.</p>
<p>Hi MH…a question for you please,from your following quote from above post:
“Last year about 30% of internal transfer requests to the MSB were granted. I remember at my new student orientation a year ago hearing one of the Deans (probably Dean Kaneda) welcoming the internal transfers and saying that internal acceptance rate into the SFS had been about 20%.” </p>
<p>When you said at your NSO(which I’m presuming was your freshman year NSO),new transfer students were welcomed by the Dean-did you mean ‘internal transfer’ students?My question is,who would constitute ‘internal transfer students’ at NSO time of freshman year?Are they the ones who got entry into MSB/NHS/COLL but switched into SFS before start of freshman year? I was under the impression that ‘internal transfer’ is possible only AFTER a year.So I’m wondering who the Dean meant when he/she said ‘internal transfers’ ?
Thanks.</p>
