Urgent: Difficulty Level of the Walsh School of Foreign Service

<p>I'm currently in the process of applying to Georgetown Early Action and I'm unsure about whether I should apply to the Walsh School of Foreign Service or Georgetown College. I want to go the Walsh School of Foreign Service because it has the topics I'm interested in studying but is it harder to get into then the college? If I applied to the college would i be able to transfer to the WSF after I get accepted to the regular college?</p>

<p>i have the same questions somebody please answer this person.</p>

<p>Technically, the acceptance rate was lower for the College last year. Anyway, I would advise you (and everyone else) to choose the school with the subject matter that interests you. If you try to go against your interests solely for the purpose of giving yourself perceived higher chances of admission, you might produce a weaker application in the end. Basically, if SFS interests you, apply to SFS.</p>

<p>Follow your interests. You don’t want to pay 50k/year for something you don’t want.</p>

<p>SFS’s “higher” admissions rate is misleading. The applicants are more self selective in SFS (look at SAT avgs), and far fewer athletic recruits are going into it than the college (which inflates the college’s admissions rate).</p>

<p>in addition, you may transfer between schools
however, according to the admissions office, it tends to be more difficult to transfer into SFS because many students apply to the college to be admitted when they really want to be in SFS.</p>
