Date: April 21st, 2010 8:11 PM Author: Frozen Territorial Mother Corner if you get a really high GRE score and good recc's, you have a solid chance at most of those places. just write good essays.
ideally, your work experience should directly relate to the policy area you're interested in pursuing. |
