Hi guys,
I am currently thinking of applying to a business school for my masters from social sciences. My field is extremely unsatisfying and kinda bullshit, and I am interested in corporate social responsibility. I have no idea how business schools work and am a bit concerned about my background having nothing to do with business so I'm posting here for some feedback - ofc I would like to get into a top grad school.
McGill: Joint Honours - Political Science and International Economic Development
cum. GPA: 3.5 - 3.55 (not great I know). Major GPA: 3.65 - 3.75. My grades in econ classes are not too great (B ish, one A).
No GRE yet.
Experience:
research in international law with a prof (paid, including field trip)
4 years working part-time for a juridical government body as an interpreter
also 20 000 student jobs waiting tables etc. throughout university
one internship with a diplomatic delegation to an international security organization (highly regarded - but in my field...)
one internship at the UN
I am fluent in 4 languages (of which English, French, and Spanish).
Writing my thesis on brain drain and corporate social responsibility.
I am taking a year off next year to either try to get a job in the corporate world or work on a project of my own. I will do my GRE next winter and apply as well.
Even though my GPA is not great, I still think I could get into a good masters in political science, but I want to switch. How does that look for me? What should I do?
