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? |

Date: April 24th, 2009 1:57 PM Author: walnut exhilarant newt Here's what I did... I went abroad to teach English while I studied for the GRE/GMAT and earned some cash to pay for econ classes. Came back and got an IR related job while I took econ classes.

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!!!" |
