  1. Schools Applying/Applied To: HKS, SIS, Fletcher, SAIS, Elliott, Walsh MSFS, maybe SIPA Schools Admitted To: n/a Schools Rejected From: n/a Still Waiting: Fletcher early admissions Undergraduate institution: Ohio State University Undergraduate GPA: 3.78 Undergraduate Major: World Economy and Business, East Asian Studies, Chinese GRE Quantitative Score: 160 GRE Verbal Score: 158 GRE AW Score: 5 Age: 22 Years of Work Experienc: Three internships: Ohio Homeland Security analyst intern, Translating internship for international news company, International Institute for Strategic Studies (DC office) Describe Relevant Work Experience and International Experience: 2 years living in China, Semester at Sea summer 2011, Beijing Language and Culture University Summer language program. Languages: Heritage speaker of Chinese and Chinese major Strength of SOP (be honest, describe the process, etc): First generation American college student, came to OSU looking to change the campus and help make a difference. Want to focus on leadership on campus seeing that i have no out of school work experience. Since 2009, founding member/president of an Acappella group that helped OSU start its acappella scene, Chairman of the Dean's student advisory board, rock climbing instructor at our climbing wall as well as public relations supervisor, mentor to a fourth grader, and chinese language tutor. Strength of LOR (be honest, describe the process, etc): Again, seeing my professional experience is lacking I will have to use my professors and internship coordinators. First is my advisor for four years who has helped me get all my internships and knows me very well. 2nd is my professor in Washington, DC of whom used to be the dean to a small liberal arts college and currently runs an osu internship program in DC. 3rd will be the assistant to osu's arts and sciences dean of whom I now from working on the advisory board.
  2. Thanks for the input! Was the interviewer taking notes to incorporate into your application for admission counselors to see?
  3. Has anyone done Fletcher's Evaluative Interview? I'm planning on doing an interview in mid November and would really appreciate if someone could shed some more light on it besides the information from the website.
  4. Hey Mmukher, From what I have read (other posts, website, etc), Financial Aid at these types of schools vary based on need base and merit. If you're an American citizen you can apply for the FAFSA which is a great way to get grant money from the government. Are you a citizen of the US just living in India? I've also heard that the larger DC based schools, especially SAIS, has more scholarships to offer. On the downside, DC is an extremely expensive city to live in so it may offset. What are your options for funding now?
  5. Yea, my original intention for this was to get some ideas/tips about the application process that isn't given on the website. The websites gives pretty generic pieces of advice at times.
  6. Hey Everyone, I'm in the process of applying to several MA programs focusing on foreign relations. Some of my top choices are Tufts, Georgetown, GWU, John Hopkins, and American. I'm looking for others who are in my situation and want to bounce ideas of each other. I'm particularly interested in how we can improve our chances of getting in. Some questions I'd like to address are: These program's emphasis on the new GRE scores (didn't do too hot) Lack of professional work experience but several internships including full time work in DC (coming straight from undergrad) Percentages of students getting acceptance How long the wait is Evaluative interviews Thanks!
