So I'm a rising college senior and I need a little help planning out my life. I have no work experience at the moment, although this summer I will most likely be taking part in a government internship. I have a 3.9 GPA and various academic awards such as the Critical Language Scholarship and the Boren Scholarship. Because of those scholarships I have some experience studying abroad in China. I haven't taken the GRE yet. My dream schools would be Georgetown's Security Studies program or Asian Studies program, Yale's Global Studies program, and other programs of that caliber. Do you guys think I need to work for a few years, and then apply? Is it worth applying just to see if I can get in, and how much financial aid they would give me (if any)? Thanks in advance!
