Hi guys, I really appreciate all the great feedback here and thought I'd post to get some feedback. I'm currently pursuing an MPP program at the University of Maryland School of Public Policy and hoping to pursue an MA program afterwards at GWU, AU SIS or Georgetown SFS as well as the Pickering Fellowship for Graduate Students. I didn't have a stellar GPA in undergrad - graduated with 3.2 mostly due to the low grades that I got in the sciences (I pursued pre-pharmacy and switched to political science in my junior year) and working two jobs to support myself. Once I remove my science grades, I have a 3.7 GPA in my courses in political science and IR. I also have 5+ years of professional work experience and a few overseas experiences in Thailand and Vietnam and completed a competitive summer fellowship at Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School. I was fortunate to be able to waive the GRE for my current grad program but I know I'll have to take the test for the schools I've targeted. I'm wondering what my chances are for being accepted to these programs with a not-so-stellar GPA, but with an advanced degree, a Princeton fellowship, some work experience, and hopefully several good recommendation letters from professors? I really appreciate your feedback! Thanks.
