Update for anyone wondering:

I got in touch with my AO at Georgetown and she said it was no problem if I wanted to switch to SFS but I would have to write two additional essays. I started writing the essays and in the meantime I decided to go visit all four colleges last weekend to see if that changed any of my thoughts.

Honestly, I was underwhelmed by Georgetown. It felt cold and outdated, and the campus was smaller than I had remembered. The Georgetown neighborhood and DC are both amazing, but I really didn’t see myself spending four years on the campus. I was expecting to love it, but I was honestly disappointed after spending a few hours on the campus.

Hopkins has a beautiful campus, but I was not fond of the surrounding area and Baltimore, and in general, I wasn’t sure how well I would fit in academically and socially.

Lastly, I visited Northwestern, and while I was there, it was very clear to me that it was the perfect fit and 100% where I want to spend the next four years. Academically it fits my varied interests perfectly, and I also love the social scene and Evanston/Chicago. So, I decided to not apply to transfer to SFS and I will be committing to Northwestern. Thank you everyone for your help!
