<p>How good is the business school? I don't really know what I want to do, but I know Georgetown would be my top choice if I was going into SFS. However, would I be able to break into business if I attended SFS? (I would just like to know if that door would be open).</p>
<p>If not, then I would apply to the school of business. But then I don't know if it's worth studying business at GU (because it's known for it's foreign service program--and I could probably get a better business education somewhere else).</p>
<p>In general, what are job options for anyone graduating from SFS?</p>
<p>Unfortunately I cannot answer your question but I think it’s important to mention that it is easier to get into MSB than to get into SFS. While SFS clearly is the most recognized college of Georgetown, MSB is also a part of this extremely prestigious university. The business program there might not be as respected as the programs of SFS, it still gives you a great degree which makes you competitive with most other top school graduates (including Ivy). </p>
<p>And what you really should not forget that it is much easier to get into MSB than to get into another similarly prestigious university’s business program because their acceptance rate is over 20%, they do not consider the writing section of SAT, and as you can see here ([Georgetown</a> University- Office of Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://uadmissions.georgetown.edu/applying_firstyear_sdprofile.cfm]Georgetown”>http://uadmissions.georgetown.edu/applying_firstyear_sdprofile.cfm)) the average CR score was 640-730 which is pretty low. (compared to SFS where it is 700-790). So while the acceptance rate is the same at SFS and MSB, it is harder to get into SFS because the quality of applications is higher (or at least the SAT scores of the applicants are). </p>
<p>I think MSB is a great place to go if you don’t have extremely great stats but still want a top class degree.</p>
<p>I disagree, its been preached countless times, and I would not like to start a war, but the scores are marginally small and the “quality” is relative and basically equal across all school, MSB is around 19% now I believe. Regardless, here are my thoughts on your situation. I am an MSB student doubling in International Business and Finance (minor in econ). I chose Georgetown for its International presence, possibly unmatched in the country. Although I am not in the school of foreign service, I am studying International Business. There was Dartmouth, UNC, UPenn, and other recognized business schools, but the unique International arena is a plus here. McDonough is right for you if (like more than [not a fact] three quarters of students I would say) you want to break into the international arena with your job and an understanding of the business world. Also, GTown is represented well on Wall Street. Forget the minute figures and focus on what you want out of the school. Hope this helps.</p>
<p>Business jobs out of MSB and SFS are a push (equal). So it comes down to what you want to study during your four years and how you want to spend your class time. </p>
<p>If you want to focus your studies on business classes like accounting, marketing, finance then go for MSB.</p>
<p>If you are more intersted in classes like western civilization, map of the modern world, international relations, international economics, foreign languages, politics, then go for SFS.</p>
<p>Both schools have similar liberal arts requirements such as a couple of english courses, a couple theology, a couple social science, a couple humanities.</p>
<p>Ask yourself a couple of questions. Would you rather read an article about Starbucks or EBay’s business strategy or would you rather read about peace in the middle east or the cold war. Business students read more about the former and SFS students would read more about the latter. Both paths lead to Wall Street, law school, or a consulting gig after graduation.</p>
