Below is a quote from the page on GU’s Walsh SFS.
<<The Georgetown University undergraduate application is highly personalized to fit the unique stories, personalities, and aspirations of our prospective students. Georgetown uses its own online application for admission, and through this application, students will submit materials specific to the School of Foreign Service. An interview with a Georgetown alumnus will be coordinated for almost all applicants, serving as a useful tool for prospective students to round out their written applications.
While an applicant’s academic performance is the most important criterion under consideration for admission, we also look for accomplishments outside of the classroom, demonstrated commitment to the broader community, and personal qualities such as resiliency, motivation, and ambition. It is these qualities that prepare an individual to become part of the Georgetown tradition of cura personalis, prepared to both add to and benefit from the Georgetown community.
Although we can’t provide you the magic formula, we can give you the typical profile of an admitted student:
Strong academic performance in the most rigorous curriculum offered by their secondary school
Leaders and influencers with the desire to make a difference
Strong interest in the complex mechanics of our world
Engagement in their communities
Excitement to learn from, lead, and change the world>>
