Program: MIA/MPP Interests: International Relations Schools Applying To: Johns Hopkins SAIS, Harvard Kennedy School , Columbia SAIS, Georgetown SFS Undergrad Institution: University of Notre Dame Undergraduate GPA: 3.73 Undergraduate Major: BA Political Science, Concentration in Middle Eastern Studies GRE: 167V, 160Q, 5W Years of Work Experience: 2.5 Languages: English, intermediate Arabic, intermediate Georgian. Work Experience: After graduation I spent 9 months as a policy fellow for a non-profit organizing a forum for US Senators and Pakistani Parliamentarians that was meant to expand the bilateral dialogue beyond security cooperation. I spent most of my time meetings with Senate offices and Senators, developing policy briefs, coordinating logistics, etc. Since then, I have been a Peace Corps volunteer (18 or 27 months completed) in the Republic of Georgia where I teach English and work in youth development. LORs: I have three recommendations. Two will be very strong (one from my boss in DC, one from my Peace Corps program manager), and one should be strong, but I'm less confident (from my undergraduate thesis advisor) I would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks so much
