<p>Gtown is a reach for me. What is the easiest major to get into and would improve my chances of getting into Gtown?</p>
<p>I do not think that there are some majors that will help you get in just by stating on the application. Georgetown is certainly looking for diversity and places to fill in certain departments, but if that will be the case, then the entire application should be built around that “easy to get in” major. If you are so convinced that the major you plan to state can help your admission to such extent, then I guess you have to be willing to build the application, essay, and hopefully even the recommendations around this interest. They look more about how enthusiastic you are about something than just the major. If you can be enthusiastic about the major that you chose for the sake of increasing admission chances, i guess thats the way to go. Most people, however, would probably be unable to make their application enthusiastic about something they really dont like. You have to be a good actor/actress:-)</p>
<p>PS: In regards to the majors you can choose from, I do not know anything specific but I think the more obscure or obscure-sounding is the major, the more they are looking for people to fill in the places. Not always but often they have hard time attracting people.</p>
<p>Well consider two things:</p>
<p>a) there’s no point going to a school that studying a major that is easier to get into for the sake of going. It’s like applying to MIT for an English major. I could see you transferring from one major to another, but…</p>
<p>b) schools are not stupid enough to just allow these transfers to happen on a regular basis, or else there’d be no point in the whole admissions process. You gotta be real top in your class for the major you’re in and show considerable enthusiasm and active participation in the major you wish to pursue. Even then, only a few spots are open for transfer students. </p>
<p>So try it; it might work, it might not, but hey, you can always say you went to Georgetown!</p>
<p>Yeah, but at Georgetown, the major you put down isn’t necessarily your major unless you choose a language/linguistics or science major [I am pretty sure about that].</p>
<p>Since Georgetown doesn’t have many different schools, it probably doesn’t have too many different admissions rates and standards. For example, at a school like Cornell, you can have an easy time getting into a CALS or Human Ecology program, but have a difficult time for admissions into a major in CAS. </p>
<p>Colleges aren’t stupid, I’ve visited Cornell and they’ve said that you can’t easily change your major from one college to another unless you have top grades. Therefore, if you end up in one major that you don’t like and don’t do amazing you may be stuck in it, or have to transfer out of the university…</p>
<p>The differences in admissions rates among the four schools are negligible. This year, the College actually had the lowest admission rate, but it was only I think two percent lower than the highest rate (sorry, The Hoya is down for the summer so I can’t check). Some will argue about self-selection in the SFS (which well may be true), but, in the end, the differences in “ease of entry” are so small that applying to the school of first choice is always the best bet. Simply, there is no back door way into Georgetown (unless your dad is a Senator).</p>
