[Nervous and unsure - Help!]

Can anyone perhaps share their acceptance experiences with semi-similar stats as mine? I'd really appreciate hearing them!

Thanks!

[Nervous and unsure - Help!]

Hi all,

In the midst of all the applications I'm filling out right now, I'd really really appreciate some insight from anyone in regards to my potential acceptances/rejections. Any thoughts would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm a nervous wreck right now because I am so unsure on how I can gauge my qualifications, and I wonder if I should be even applying at all.

I'm applying to several graduate programs in international relations, including:

Yale - MA in IR

Univ of Chicago: MA in IR

Columbia SIPA: MIA

USC: MA in Public Diplomacy

Univ of Michigan: MPP

UCSD: MA in Int'l and Pacific Affairs

Johns Hopkins SAIS: MA in IR

My profile is as follows:

Undergraduate institution: Top 10 public school

Major: Double-majored in Political Science (Int'l Relations) / American Literature and Culture

Cumulative GPA: 2.9 (ouch)

Poli Sci major GPA: 3.1 (ouch)

*I've had 1-2 very bad grades from courses that are irrelevant to IR (they were literature courses)

GRE scores: 570 Verbal / 640 Quantitative / 4.0 Writing

Work exprience: 1.5 years as Researcher at a foreign embassy in Washington, DC / several internships under my belt at nonprofit law firm, 2 IR think tanks in DC, press agency

+ Several awards and honors during my undergrad studies, made it to dean's list for several quarters

Foreign languages: Korean (native fluency) / Japanese (intermediate) / German (basic knowledge)

Recomendations: very strong recommendations from professor, a U.S. ambassador, and foreign minister

Any honest opinions?

Thanks in advance!
