Great insights Grad88 and IndianLawyer! You both seem to have a great grasp of the realities in the applications process. With your experience, I think you will make it into IHEID. On the other hand, I do not want to be a wishful thinker, so will probably wait till next year to apply. By then, I'd probably have obtained stronger GRE scores to make up for my lacklustre undergrad grades. I'm really grateful to you guys. Cheers!

Thanks very much Grad888! Will review my SOP with your tip in mind. My GRE Scores really don't say much. They're just average. I took it in a rush in August when I got a 2 week vacation from work. I was then aiming for some MPA programs with specializations in development economics. Didn't bother applying when I saw my scores. Lol. Stronger GRE scores plus the A's I got in Economics would've tidied up my application, wouldn't they?

Hi everyone! Really want to apply to IHEID MDev & Yale Jackson. I'm having a hard time figuring out if I would be competitive. Here's my profile: Undergrad Program: Mathematics (with courses in Economics & Literature) Undergrad GPA (CWA): 57% GRE Scores: 151Q\ 154V\ 3AW Work Experience: 1+ year in SME Finance & Operations Management Consulting Career Goal: Development Finance in Africa. Please tell me what you think my chances will be if I apply. Thanks!
