<p>Hey Hoyas! I am a recent newcomer of U.S. (ESL student) and pretty much a scence guy. I am accepted to MSB and worrying about all the Liberal Art Core classes. I know I have to write a lot but I wanna know how good I need to write, and I wanna the grading policy in general: is this tought to get good grade (>3.5).</p>
<p>Micro & Macro Economics
English Literature (2)
History/Government/Classics (2)
General Philosophy and Ethics (2)
Psychology/Sociology (2)
Theology (2) </p>
<p>Can anyone can share what is your experience taking those courses? I wanna access the syllabus but I cannot on the G-town website... What are the assignments like English, Theology, Philosophy and Psycholog all those courses listed above?
How about the business core course as well?</p>
<p>PLz help me. I want to be better ready. Any comment will be appreciated !</p>
<p>The toughest classes to get a 3.5 in will be</p>
<p>English
Theology
History Government and Classics
Ethics</p>
<p>because there is a fair amount of writing.</p>
<p>But you shouldn’t have too much trouble getting a 3.0 in these classes. Nevertheless by taking these classes you will become a better writer, and a more educated person. As you are aware, what separates MSB from schools like Stern is that Georgetown has a philosophy of educating the whole person which is why they have the liberal arts requirements. Don’t be afraid, you’ll be fine. Having a super high GPA won’t matter all that much anyway, unless of course you want to go to law school, which, given your interests, does not seem likely. Rather its more important to learn concepts, strengthen your weaknesses, explore academic interests, network with students across the university, demonstrate leadership, and get meaningful work experience. </p>
<p>It’s true that employers want smart people, but not just those with high GPAs. They want smart and interesting people. They’d much rather have 3.5 student with demonstrated leadership, foreign language skills, and industry experience than a 3.9 student who does nothing but study to get good grades.</p>
<p>One more thing, for your English requirement you can take a writer’s workshop which will help you with your skills.</p>
<p>Recruiters will keep that in mind, and may even be attracted to you because of your foreign language skills, and the challenges you overcame to study in the US. But again, recruiting is only one way of many ways of getting your first job. The Georgetown network will be much more important. There are many opportunities to tap this network and when you get on campus apply for a mentor. Georgetown has a great mentor program that links student with recent alumni. The Corp and the student credit union are also experiences that a lot of recruiters like to see on resumes. So try to explore those extra curricular activities as well. Georgetown is an amazing place. You will learn a lot not only in the classroom, but also outside, and this will be even more important. You may even get a little shocked at first, but this is normal, especially for foreign students immersing themselves in the US. Take a deep breath, you will be absolutely fine.</p>
