Guys, Which course at IHEID would you guys say is more competitive: IR or Development Studies?

A Distinction is actually 75-85%. In Australia the grading system is: 85+ High Distinction 75-85% Distinction 65-75% Credit 50-65% Pass 50% or less Fail Most people (I'd say 60 - 70% of graduates) only receive a Pass average. Most Masters programmes in Australia require either a 65% or 70% plus average. Hopefully this helps anyone from Australia looking to study overseas or vice versa. But anyway in this case LSE require a 75% average it seems like. Perhaps IHEID will accept my average of 70%. Ill have to apply anyway and see what happens Thanks for your help dpgu800!

Thanks for that dpgu800. I think I'll apply to all of them and see how I go. What would you say is a competitive GPA in % terms? Approx 70% +?

K_angie thank you for getting back to me and giving me the good news. I will definitely apply then How would you guys rank the competitiveness of LSE, SOAS, Science Po and IHEID?

Congratulations for all of you that have been accepted. What types of GPAs do you guys have and from what University? I just want to assess my chances for 2015 admission.

Hi All Congrats to all you who have been accepted into MDev at IHEID. I am looking to apply commencing 2015 but I have no idea how I rank compared to other applicants. For those of you who have been accepted, how would you guys assess: - Bachelor of Economics from University of Sydney (Top 100 University, currently ranked 72 in the world (If this is a criteria). - Grade point average 70%. - 2.5 years of Chartered Accounting experience - Strong interest in Economic Development, Poverty Alleviation Is it worth applying? Hopefully this will help other people with a similar question. Cheers
