<p>Are certain undergrad schools easier to get into at Georgetown? Particularly the School of Nursing and Health Studies? Thanks for any help...</p>
<p>the nursing school is easiest. but if you're some kind of english/politics nerd, don't be applying to the nursing school. they'll sniff you out. I talked to the adcom who visited my school.</p>
<p>The business and nursing schools have the highest acceptance rates. Just be sure you actually want to study nursing or business. It's a huge pain to transfer schools, because you have to wait until after your whole first year, and there are a lot of different freshmen requirements for each school.</p>
<p>What is the acceptance rate for the business school???</p>
<p>not that much different around 23-24% as opposed to 20-21% college and SFS. Nursing is much higher, around 35%</p>
<p>When I was at Gtown, I definitely got the impression that SFS was the most prestigious of the schools, and the most competitive. Several people I talked to affectionately refered to it as the School For Snobs. The dean at SFS also told me that they have a very high retention rate of students in the college, and that they have the highest number of students transferring into it. Despite that, he strongly advised against applying to the easy college (he implied Nursing) just to get in and transfer later because of the difficulties involved. He said that the professors are well aware of this plot and will find your late presence in their school with some skepticism.</p>
<p>There is definitely the sense around here that the SFS students are at least the most intense. I know a few kids in the college that study half as much as I do, but I think it just depends on your schedule...I also know several kids who have already decided they hate the SFS and are transferring into the college post haste. </p>
<p>Anyway, I believe there was a joke made at NSO that even though the SFS kids sound like they know what they're doing and have their lives planned out for them, don't worry because they're scare crapless too. Which, on the whole, is also true...most of the SFS kids I know have a pretty clear direction in life (as you would need, we only have 7 majors) and a lot of the college kids have no clue what the heck they want to do (again generalization, but it is the most broad core-wise and majors offered and there's nothing wrong with being undecided SO)...</p>
