Hello everybody,
Are there people applying to both MA and PhD programs in International Relations. I am applying to 13 programs and was wondering if it's safe to chose only reputed programs. I'm thinking about expanding my list and including at least 2 more school. My GPA is below 3,5 and I don't have work experience so it's risky but I have nothing to lose (except application fee). Anyone wants to suggest good programs in IR or political science.
Schools applying to: Chicago CIR, Tufts, GWU Elliot, University of Pittsburg, University of Washington, Boston University, University of Denver, University of Kentucky
PhD: Chicago, Berkeley, Cornell, Brown (All political science with IR concentration)
