<p>Do SFS students at Georgetown look down upon College students because it's harder to get into SFS? Do College students look down upong NHS and McDonough students?</p>
<p>no McDonough students look down upon everyone else, because we get the best jobs! lol jk... I think it's becoming more and more inaccurate to say it's harder to get into one school than the other... if you look at the stats each school is within 2 percentage points of each other by acceptance rate... and high school average all fall in 94-96% (mid 50)... and SATs (mid 50) only deviate 100 points or so within each school... that's hardly a difference... SFS students thinks it's harder to get into SFS because they say they are self-selecting crowd, but the College students thinks their harder because of the 18% early rate... McDonough students laughs and points to the wall street job they get by end of 1st semester senior year... NHS... not sure what they do... but they're good as well... sry I don't think this helped... but the point is each Georgetown school is great within their field and to "look down upon" others is just arrogant</p>
<p>A lot of SFS students are pretty arrogant, and think they're better than everyone else because they are going to be President or a Foreign Service Officer, where in reality, they really have no clue what they are doing with their lives any more than students in the College do. The only difference between most SFS majors and their College counterparts are 4 required econ classes and upper-level classes with an international focus (ex. Political Economy vs. International Political Economy, Government vs. International Politics, etc.).</p>
<p>The nursing school is the punchline of many jokes, the business school to a much lesser degree (not so much because it's easier to get into, but because they dont go to school on friday). college and sfs are sort of seen about equal but the sfs usually has the more career-oriented types.</p>
<p>NHS is only a "joke" to people that don't really understand it. Many think that it's the easiest school to get into b/c it has the highest acceptance rate. But, NHS is a self selective school. So, unless you have a keen interest in the health sciences, you won't even get a second look. NHS is known for having some of the most rigorous courses, including pathophysiology, pharmacology, biotechnology, and immunology. So, please do not put down NHS unless you actually know something about it.</p>
<p>And if you want to get real technical MSB had a higher acceptance rate this year than NHS. Though it doesnt really matter since all four schools had acceptance rates that were all within 3% of each other, which is pretty rare for competitive universities that have multiple colleges within them. Usually there's a much bigger gap.</p>
<p>Does MSB have a higher acceptance rate than NHS this year? Where did you get that... every school claims to be "self-selecting," the SFS kids are all like that... how about this... Georgetown, in general, is self-selective...</p>
<p>Mikey101: are you sure? Traditionally, there's been a gap between NHS and MSB, with MSB having a lower acceptance rate.</p>
<p>Yeah I'm sure. See this web page under overall admission, acceptance rate:
<a href="http://www12.georgetown.edu/undergrad/admissions/applying_firstyear_sdprofile.cfm%5B/url%5D">http://www12.georgetown.edu/undergrad/admissions/applying_firstyear_sdprofile.cfm</a></p>
<p>MSB is at 23%
NHS is at 22% (which is a pretty big drop from the previous year)
Both SFS and COL are at 20%
For an overall acceptance rate of 20%</p>
<p>As I said this really is just splitting hairs. Georgetown as a whole is extremely selective.</p>
<p>Huh. Well, I'll be damned. Haven't looked at NHS-MSB-SFS-COL admit stats for a while.</p>
<p>Like some people have mentioned in other posts, it's really rare for a university with separate schools to have near the same acceptance rate... (see the difference between Penn's Wharton, SEAS, College, and Nursing)... it's big...</p>
