<p>Im not sure if this is possible, but. Do you think it may be avantagous to apply to the college RD if one was deffered from SFS EA? As SFS is better then college, but harder to get into. I am thinking Georgetown College is better then no Georgetown. A good idea?</p>
<p>Hey,</p>
<p>I applied to the college and was offered admission, but I was wondering that same question: How easier was it to get into the college? A friend of mine has a relative who works at Gtown admissions and he gave me a few stats a while ago. From what I remember, the college accepted 20% of its applicants whereas SFS accepted 24%. Class rank was higher in the college by about 2%, and the only area in which SFS had higher stats in was in SAT scores, but by no more than 30pts if memory serves me right.</p>
<p>Hope this helps,</p>

<p>The SFS has more prestige on campus, and even the College kids (at least those who are not in extreme denial) will acknowledge that...But there are also INCREDIBLY bright people in the College. The majors in COL are just more open and leave more room for indecision.</p>
<p>I think the divergence between the SFS and the College, generally speaking, is not intelligence, but for the most part SFS kids have a very specific idea of what they want to do and how they are going to achieve that. And it's kind of the nature of the school...we have very few majors, all but one of which have the word "International" in front of them, and our core does not allow for much exploration.</p>
<p>To answer the OPs question, if you want to go to the SFS, do not change your application to the college just because you want to go to Georgetown. Try and reinforce your application and make sure Georgetown knows that you really want to go there.</p>
<p>is it possible to switch from one school to another once in georgetown?</p>
<p>you can definitely switch/transfer within the university, but it's probably harder to get into SFS from the college rather than vice versa. it's like Penn's CAS and Wharton. Both Walsh and Wharton are the "crown jewels" of their respective universities, so it's harder to transfer to those colleges.</p>
<p>Administratively, you can transfer easily from one to school to another. It happens all the time as students realize the major they want to pursue is in another school. The biggest obstacle to transferring is the graduation requirements, as they are specific to each school.</p>
<p>And, in response to comments all over this board and specifically in this thread, I'd like to say that the ONLY people who constantly assert that the SFS is somehow superior to the College are SFSers or those who aspire to be SFSers. Students of the College get an amazing liberal arts education, and lacking an interest to pursue a career in international affairs or whatever doesn't make College students less able, intelligent, or driven. That is all.</p>
