Can you explain what you're asking? I don't really understand the question.

A lot of the required documents are uploaded at the very end of the application. I believe it included: Statement of Purpose Resume (CV) Policy Memo Supplemental Information You won't be able to get to this page until you fill out everything else in the application. Don't worry, it's there right at the end!

@pavlik I am leaning more towards IR, but may end up applying to MPP/MPA programs and focusing on international policy instead. I do attend foreign relations events as they come up and am a member of a foreign affairs organization. I just have found a harder time getting entry-level work exposure that has a meaningful salary. I plan to frame my SOP to highlight my heavy background in quant and push for programs that value that side of the application. Thanks for the advice.

Undergraduate Institution: Emory University Undergraduate Major: Business - Accounting & Finance; Minor - Italian Studies Undergraduate GPA: 3.50 - Overall; 3.60 - Major GPA GRE: 166 V, 166 Q, 4.5 AW Years of Work Experience: I worked as a consultant for two years with a Big 4 Accounting firm. I currently work (will be two years at application time) as a financial analyst for a healthcare company. I studied abroad in Italy for a semester during college. I’ve also personally travelled extensively (Europe, Africa, South America) since I’ve graduated. Language: Italian – Moderate (I haven’t used it professionally since I graduated) LORs: 1 from my boss at the Big 4 firm, 1 from an Italian professor, I don’t really have any other good relationships from college outside of business, so I may get another boss to write one. Coursework : Multivariable Calculus, Micro and Macro, 60+ hours of Finance and Accounting credits Concerns: I am most concerned about my projected level of interest/lack of relevant work experience. The surface level of my application looks like I should be applying for an MBA program. I picked Business as an undergraduate degree because I was concerned about finding a job during the economic downturn. Though I’ve done well with my employment, I am not passionate about my current profession. I am very invested in working for the Foreign Service or a private think tank. I think crafting my Statement of Purpose to tie in my experiences will be a challenge, but I do believe I am a unique candidate, at best. Any thoughts?
