<p>I am quoting Masta from a post he made on another thread. I just figured I would make a new thread so more people can get this information. Hats go off to Masta to figuring this out.</p>

<p>"I dont think the 200 out of 1450 is the acceptance rate, because they had 1450 applicants for 200 spots, I'm pretty sure they'd accept more considering everyone doesn't usually enroll."</p>

<p>i thought masta was a dude too. the name just implies something masculine. actually almost all CC names sound like their from guys</p>

<p>1450 applicants is a surprisingly high number considering Columbia's 1200 and Stanford's 1300.</p>

<p>Just in case you all were wondering...I'm a girl too. ;) Bet you didn't see that one coming a mile away! Ok, so I'm somewhat delerious do to the fact that it's 9am, and I've been up studying all night. Why I am putting this much effort into a final I need to get a 44% in to get an A is beyond me, but. such is life. Tomorrow can't come soon enough!</p>

<p>Especially since the majority are using Georgetown as a "safety school."</p>

12

<p>I am a girl too, lol :)</p>

13

<p>"Safety schools" for transfers? I didn't think there was such a thing.</p>

14

<p>Tell that to alangreenspan#1, and everyone else applying to Georgetown due to the risk of them not being accepted in Harvard or Yale.</p>

15

<p>or they applied to sfs because it is the only program of its kind in the country</p>

16

<p>heh........</p>

17

<p>ahahhahahah.. i didn't apply to georgetown homie.</p>

<p>the Federal Reserve Board is where Alan Greenspan meets with his fellow members of the Federal Open Market Committee and other Federal Reserve District's Bank presients to make a decision on short term interest rates. This happens 8 times a year..</p>
