1) Go abroad and teach English/study a language 2) Take econ classes 3) Take IR classes at TTT/City college? 4) Get an IR related internship/job? 5) Some combination of the above? |

learning a language will help get in somewhat, teaching wont. econ will help you when accepted, but not really with acceptance. TTT IR classes, LMAO. 4 would be solid of course, but not like "ZOMG, he interned for a summer at a TT think tank, let's take him!!!" |
