  1. actually, i am intending to apply for professors whose research area is Chinese political system , and my research during last five years is mainly about this topic. But my research is mainly government directed which is not the same as academic researches (it is kind of like an official think tank for a provincial government in China), and i am not sure whether academic world would value this kind of research experiences or not. Should I emphasize it in my SOP? or just treat it as a normal experience?
  2. thanks, that helps a lot. Anyway, i was quite optimistic about my application up until i found out my AW score yesterday, i think now i am reclaiming my confidence. I think i could find some professors whose academic focus is China issues, especially Chinese political systems or local government
  3. i think i should retake it too, but i really hate to do so, beside, I am not sure i could get a better score in the aw section
  4. thanks a lot, so it seems that I should start to work on my sample work and sop, and forget about the embarrassing aw score
  5. hi every body, I am intending to apply for a respectable political science PHD program in 2015 fall, and here is my profile: Undergraduate situation: Renmin University of China ( a top 3 university in social science in China) Major: International Relations, GPA: 3.43/4.0 Minor: Public Administration, GPA: 3.41/4.0 GRE: V163/Q170/AW3.0 (sigh!) TOEFL: haven’t taken yet, but I scored a 109 6 years ago, so it shouldn’t be a problem. And here is the point, I have worked in the research division of a provincial government in China for more than five years, and my job is mainly about doing government directed researches about Chinese political systems. Unfortunately, all my researches were published under government leader’s name, so I don’t have any published works. Here are the questions, will my working experience help me a lot in my application? What is my chance to get a offer from respectable schools? And will my analytical writing school seriously hurt my application? Do I need to retake the GRE? Thanks a lot!
