Hi,
I'm planning on applying to The Graduate Institute (MIA) too among a host of others (Durham, Edinburgh, LSE, Sciences PO... to mention a few, all in Europe though) but I am literally freaking out about my chances. I'm not doing GRE, come from a communications background, schooled in Africa and have no experience in International Affairs. I'm currently interning with an Int'l NGO (Plan) in W. Africa and wondering what other work experience will help level the playing field (E.G working with the government, any embassy etc)
