Hello everyone! I'm not quite sure which graduate schools I should be looking into for political science. Here are a few of my "stats:" I go to a public state school, which is ranked at about #230, but is in the 60's regionally (according to US news rankings) but is known as a broadcasting school, which is one of my majors. I have a double major in journalism and political science as well as a minor in French. I am also a member of my college's honors program which does require you to write a thesis. I have worked at my college television station for all four years of my college education, and I've had a variety of leadership positions including news director. I was a Resident Assistant in an all freshmen building which required me to be a TA. I also have a job on campus. By the time I graduate I will have had five internships, one at a network station in New York City. I haven't taken my GREs, but my SATs put me in the 95% percentile for math, 84% percentile for writing, and 87% for reading. I'm looking to end up with a 3.6 at graduation, which has qualified me for a number of honor's societies. I'm fairly positive my recs will be great, so hopefully that helps! I guess I'm just a little confused with how state schools measure up to Ivy leagues. So if you have any insight, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!!
