Put simply, I want to delve deeper into the discipline. I'm not content with just an undergraduate degree. Put another way, I ultimately intend to work in D.C. and a MA is not only a goal of mine, it also serves as a stepping stone to my future (potential) career.

Could be related to The Harm Principle. Or maybe it has to do with the Categorical Imperative. Much more likely: there's an Evil Demon casting an illusion around us all so this website doesn't actually exist. Never liked Descartes myself.

Hello all, Here's yet another topic about chances for acceptance to poli sci grad school programs. I've talked to my advisers about this but I also believe too much advice doesn't exist. So... I'm applying for grad school (specifically a Master's in Poli Sci) for fall 2015. I'm currently in my senior year in undergrad and will be done by May. I'm considering applying to Georgetown, American, George Washington, George Mason, and Syracuse (I go to school in the general area near there). Based upon the following info, any thoughts? Thanks all. QPA: 3.91. Major(s): Political Science; Philosophy Major GPA: 4.0 in both. GRE: taking them Nov. 6. Issue here is my quant skills are weak so I imagine they won't be amazing. Verbal/writing should be quite high though; those are my strong subjects. I presented a paper at a statewide poli sci conference last April on the impact of drone strikes on U.S.-Pakistani relations. I'll be doing the same conference again this coming April with a paper I wrote on political corruption in Belize (I spent part of June in-country doing research with two profs and other students). I'll have letters of recommendation from two poli sci faculty (both of whom I've closely worked with; one I did research for) and from my philosophy adviser. I also have a letter of recommendation from my university's president, who I worked with in Student Government. Not that it really matters for grad school, I don't think but... Spent two years in Student Government; last one I was on the Exec Board as Parliamentarian (enforced Robert's Rules/drafted legislation). Tutor/Peer Leader and so on.
