<p>I visited Georgetown last summer (LOVED it) and I remember my info session presenter stating that most applicants are undeclared when applying. I should've asked this while there but for some reason, it didn't hit me at the time--how does that work if you must apply to a certain school if you don't know what you want to major in yet? Hoping someone out there knows the answer.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>It means you have to have a general idea of what you want to do. If you want to do some type of business, you would apply to the MSB even if you weren't sure if you wanted accounting, finance, etc. If you want international relations for sure, you should apply to SFS because later you will declare international politics, int'l. economics, etc. If you are really unsure, your safest bet would probably be the College because it encompasses Liberal Arts, Sciences, and everything else not included in the other schools. You can apply to the College and if you decide the major you truly want is elsewhere, you can switch your school within Georgetown through an application process.</p>
<p>Just like the previous poster said, you don't have to know exactly what you want to do, but if you have a general idea and direction you can apply to the specific school, otherwise go for the college.</p>
<p>For some of the schools, you can't declare your major when you apply. The only students in the college that come in declared are math/science majors/pre-med and language/linguistics majors, you aren't allowed to declare anything else. The NHS may actually be the only school where you definitely have to have declared your major when applying.</p>
<p>For SFS you "declare" International Relations, but that is in lieu of saying "undeclared" because you still specialize more later.</p>
