honestly, were all kinda stupid for applying SFS. the acceptance rates are the lowest of all the schools. Also, my interviewer told me SFS carries the rep for the whole school and the other programs aren't that strong (Sorry to anyone in those, im just saying what i heard).

<p>Huh?</p>
<p>I was, until last year when I quit because I couldn't spare the time, an alumni interviewer for GTown. I graduated from the College and made it a point to never, ever badmouth or falsely pump-up a school's rep within the university. How your interviewer can make such a patently false claim - the College, not SFS, is statistically the toughest to get into, with the lowest admit rate, unless that's changed this year - astonishes me.</p>
<p>Each school has its strengths and weakness. SFS does a great job of prepping its students to analyze policy but completely insulates them from any science requirements (hence its other name, Safe From Science). How are SFS policy analysts supposed to respond, for instance, when someone raises environmental concerns about energy or technology policy when SFSers barely understand the basics of environmental science?</p>

She told me the SFS students have to work the hardest and the business school is full of the stereotypical "those guys," the kinda guys like the boyfriend in Wedding Crashers.

<p>As far as the SFS academic demands are concerned, I can tell you from firsthand experience that SFSers are the first to whine about their workloads and the first to shut up when the pre-meds, language majors, and even the nurses start slamming their 20-pound textbooks on the table in front of them. It's fun listening to them complain but it gets old after a few days and they're still at it.</p>
<p>SFSers like to think they're the cat's meow. They're not.</p>
<p>They're fun to toy with, though.</p>
