<p>This program was free to all participants - and they accepted 19 students, I believe- half into the heritage speakers section(some experience), half into the beginners section (no experience with this language). I think it was fairly competitive, but I don't think it required a certain major, or level in school. Some of the programs given in the link I provided above look pretty competitive, but this one had about a 20-25% acceptance rate, according to an article I read about it...</p>
<p>Georgetown has a great and well funded program.</p>
<p>My d. is now home from Cairo, and the program was spectacularly wonderful. You are welcome to PM us if you have a d. or s. interested in next year's program.</p>
