Cago UChi got a reaction from sanchxuan in 2018 Applications Thread
Got an email from UW-Madison saying that I was in and had to make my decision by May 1st. 99% sure that I am not going, 'cause really don't think I could survive winter in Madison. Good luck to those accepted.

Cago UChi reacted to Tiffany612 in IR PhD profile evaluation. Thanks for your help!
Hi all!
I am an international student (China) applying to PhD programs in International Relations this year. I am looking for some opinions on me being admitted by some programs. My profile is as follows:
BA(07/2015): International Political Economy at Top 2 Universities in China;
GPA: 3.51 (I know, this looks bad. But there is actually no GPA on my official transcript. I am wondering if I should omit it in the online application);
MA(05/2017): Top 10 IA programs in the US;
GPA: 3.91
TOEFL: waived
GRE: V: 159; Q: 169; AW: 4
LOR: one from my former internship boss (he is a renowned expert in my field); one from my American professor (he is in IA department, not political science); one from my undergrad professor (he is in Political Science Department);
Research: Currently working in a think tank, doing research related to the field I am interested in; was research assistant to my professor during my last semester at grad school; wrote a relevant essay which was published in a think tank's blog; my former internship also contains lots of research work.
Universities I am considering:
Columbia, Cornell, BU, UMD, USC, Denver, American University, UT Dallas, George Mason
Please let me know how you would evaluate my profile. Thank you soooooo much!

Geek culture sounds really fun! I am interested in digital communication as well. Probably not the same aspect... but still. Can't wait to see your publications.
