Hello community!
I am in a bit of a complicated situation, that I'm hoping someone can shed some light on.
Following the usual trend, I don't have strong academic professionals to write my letter.
However, I do have one professor, that I would sit and listen to his lectures/forums and go to his office hours. We keep in touch and he has written a letter for me in the past though I am not sure how strong it was but I got in.
The problem is I graduated in business, he is a sociology professor, I never took his courses, and I am interested in international development with a focus on women. I'm thinking of mentioning in my statement 'how a sociology aspect/human element was missing previously in my undergrad degree which drew me to his lectures." Since intl dev does have a sociology aspect. Is that a stretch?
I have strong professional recommendations, strong experience, and an ok GPA (3.2 GPA). I will take the GRE and will try to kill it, though it is not required for my schools. I would love to take classes now to get better recommendations but am abroad in a developing country. I've been out of school a little more than 3 years.
Any suggestions, would be greatly appreciated.
