Question about applications...

I am applying to George Washington University for Early Decision, and I was curious, I was thinking about applying to their Political Communications School, one of the VERY few in the country, but I’ve heard their Freshman acceptance is very selective, like 60 students or something. So, I was curious, if I apply to that school and don’t get in, will I get flat-out rejected by GW, and should I just apply to one of the other schools for Political Science, and try to transfer, or can I even do that. I know this is probably obvious, but I just want to know. I appreciate any and all help!

Thanks,
Ben
