  1. I'm considering applying for Political Science Ph.D. programs in the Fall of 2014 for enrollment in the Fall of 2015. I was hoping you might shed some light on my chances. I'm a rising 3L at Georgetown Law, with a GPA of 3.55 (roughly top third of my class), a federal judicial internship after my 1L summer, and a summer associateship with a big law firm in New York after my 2L summer. I'm now weighing a full time offer from that firm. I received a BA in Government from Georgetown in 2009, graduating with a 3.82 (roughly top 15% of my class). Between college and law school, I spent a year in a Political Science Ph.D. program at the CUNY Graduate Center, but I didn't earn a degree. I earned 24 credits at CUNY with a 4.0 GPA. I'm attempting to work out an arrangement whereby I finish my masters at CUNY while finishing up law school. As an undergrad, I interned for a semester with the Cato Institute. A couple caveats. I withdrew from the Government Honors Program in undergrad, as reflected by the "W" on my college transcript. I scored an 800 on the Quantitative portion of the GRE, a 770 on the Verbal portion, and a 5.0 on the Analytical Writing portion. However, I took the GRE in November 2009, and, while the scores will still be reportable up to November 17, 2014, I'm worried that programs will consider the scores invalid by the time they consider my application, which probably won't be until December 2014 or January 2015, at which point the scores will be just over five years old. Any guidance you could offer would be much appreciated. Thanks very much.
