Date: August 25th, 2009 4:16 AM Author: French exhilarant gas station clown Subject: Getting into a good Policy MA program Hey guys, hows it going? I'm looking to applying to a few grad schools this fall in IR, specifically: SAIS, SIPA, KSG, MIT, GT, Tufts, MIIS. I'm looking into a practical MA program in international/national security. Here's a little about myself:
-Currently teaching English full-time in the Middle East (one yr. contract), where I am also taking advanced Arabic courses at the University of Jordan, interning, and volunteering. -Fluent in Spanish and conversational in Arabic -BA from UCLA in IR and Arabic (CUM GPA 3.7) -4 security related internships -GRE: 600Q/740V -Published in the UCLA Undergrad. research journal (the paper was on the effects of intelligence on policy)
Anyway, considering what I've listed, am I a competitive candidate for the programs I listed (my first choice is MIT, as it's condensed), or should I look somewhere else? Also, what does anyone know about the King's College in London War Studies program?
Thanks so much!

With the high GPA and internship experiences, you will be accepted to all the MA programs you mentioned. I am 90% sure. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1071046&forum_id=3#12589921) |

Date: August 26th, 2009 2:46 PM Author: crystalline glittery jew cuckoldry MIT has an IR master's? Your Q GRE is horrifically low. Is that like a 40%? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1071046&forum_id=3#12599382) |
Date: August 27th, 2009 3:33 AM Author: French exhilarant gas station clown Thanks guys for the input! Yea, my Q score is sadly quite pathetic, in the 40's as you had mentioned. My V though is the 99th, so perhaps that could make up for it? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1071046&forum_id=3#12605383) |
