<p>My questions:
[ul]
[<em>] If I were to apply to Georgetown SFS early, what are my chances of acceptance?
[</em>] What specific qualities does SFS look for, other than interest in international affairs? Fluency in foreign languages, perhaps?
[<em>] How much would it help if I received a recommendation from a Georgetown professor?
[</em>] How much of a boost is TASP?
