So, I am an SFS alum - albeit from several decades ago. I am pretty surprised about your perception that SFS is career prep; I definitely didn’t find it that way. I was an International Econ - Int’l Finance and Commerce major/concentrator. I went on to work in finance (buy side). For me, part of the appeal was the international component SFS added- I loved languages and “finance” and went on to work both domestically and overseas. I put finance in quotes because the focus was somewhat more economics than pure finance (having gone on for an MBA I found a difference in the emphasis of the two programs with my Wharton MBA definitely more “career prep”). I would agree with prior comments that addressed the basic requirements at Georgetown and the breadth that the overall program provides. Not sure I can comment on the current cliqueyness or competitiveness of clubs - didn’t feel that way back when. If you have specific questions, feel free to PM me. I loved my Georgetown experience. Hope this helps!
