Study Abroad in Paris (Science Po)

Colleges and Universities A-Z Georgetown University

<p>I am very interested in the full year study abroad program in Paris at Sciences Po. Everything I know about the program, I have gathered from the Georgetown Overseas Studies program website (<a href="http://oip.georgetown.edu/os/sites/france/iep.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://oip.georgetown.edu/os/sites/france/iep.htm&lt;/a&gt;) and the Sciences Po website as well.</p>

<p>From what I have seen on the Georgetown website, the program requires a minimum GPA of 3.5 and an interview and appears quite selective. I was wondering if anyone had some input or info on this program, perhaps based on personal experience. Obviously it is a prestigious program, but I'm curious about the actual selectivity, number-wise. And do your chances of being accepted change depending on the school you're in (I'm thinking between SFS and the College)?</p>

<p>Thanks for any insight!</p>

<p>Keep in mind, I think at Open House, they said more than 50% (could be 70%, can't remember) of Georgetown kids study abroad... they did say that you have a chance of not getting into your program in two cases 1) the program is very popular with limited spots or 2) they don't think you can handle the program... and I don't think being in the college or SFS changes your chances... it's more what your major is and your GPA... and fluency in the language...</p>

<p>Usually, the popular programs are denoted with an asterisk:</p>

<p>Look at Oxford and LSE, two of the most competitive programs at Georgetown. I don't think Sciences-Po should be too difficult.</p>
