  1. Thanks Leon32 and KenBesonders. Law school is def not on my list, I took a few comprehensive law studies courses and crossed law school out. I have an interest in human rights law, but not to be a lawyer. Leon32, I'll def take into account getting more work experience before reapplying and retaking the GRE. I tried contacting someone at American University to get feedback on my application, but never heard back from them. Can anyone suggest any places to intern or get an entry-level for a career as a FP advisor or Conflict resolution/peace-building?
  2. So I graduated college (Florida International University) this past Fall with a BA in IR and a minor in French. Applied to GW and American Uni's online IR program, however, I was rejected for both. I had a 3.2 GPA and my math score for the GRE was abysmal. My only field-related work experience was interning at the French Consulate in Miami for longer than someone should work as unpaid intern. I've been thinking of waiting a year to re-apply to AU's online IR program. AU is my top choice because I can work and go to school at the same time, without having to physically go to a campus. So I have a few questions, don't know if this is the right forum for them, but here we go: 1. Can I use my LSAT scores in lieu of the GRE, my LSAT score is a 174. I only took it because I received a fee waiver. I also do not want to shell out another $200, or even $90, to take a test. 2. Does anyone know of another IR master's program that is fully online from a recognized university? 3. I want to work as either a FP advisor or a conflict resolution/peace-building specialist, how do I go about forging a path to one of those careers. 4. Does anyone know of paid internships, for non-students, in the field. I know paid internships, even for students, are nearly impossible, but maybe? Thanks in advance for any help and advice you can offer. I'm really at a loss, or feel that way, and even thinking switching careers because IR seems like a rich-kid field because only they can afford unpaid internships and I've also failed at getting into grad school. Anything to humor me would be great at this point =)
