  1. My team was part of the 201st Battlefield Surveillance Brigade out of Ft. Lewis. In country I was DS to both 4/1 AD and then 3/3 HBCT. You?
  2. Sure, Previous Degrees and GPA's: Bachelor in Political Science with a minor in Middle Eastern Studies 3.48/3.66 GRE Scores (Verbal/Quantitative/Analytical Writing): 700/720/5.0 Previous Work Experience: Interned in college for a Defense Lobbyist in DC. Taught 7th and 8th grade for a year. 3.5 years as an Army Military Intelligence Officer with a deployment to Iraq commanding a tactical collection team. Math/Econ Background: Calculus I & II, Intro to Economics, Statistics Foreign Language Background: Studied Arabic in college but am not proficient. Recommendations: Two former commanding officers and one professor from ND. In my SOP and my essay for the IFP I talked about my interest in Shiite Extremist groups and there inclusion into the governments of Lebanon and Iraq. I had done undergraduate research on the topic and have practical experience from my deployment to central and southern Iraq. I'm trying to decide between Columbia, Fletcher, and Georgetown (Security Studies). I received roughly equivalent funding from all of them. I recently visited Tufts and loved it. It's a small, flexible program with a strong faculty. The professors actively work with students to arrange research and internship oppurtunities over the summers. The oppurtunity to work with Vali Nasr is extremely appealing. I was ready to sign on with Tufts until I got the email from Columbia about two hours after leaving Medford. The IFP oppurtunity seems cool although I don't know exactly how strong Columbia is in Security Studies. I'm planning on visiting both Columbia and Gtown within the next few weeks to help with the decision.
  3. I just got a email from Matt Clemons from confirming my acceptance. I also received a $20,000 SIPA fellowship and was selected to be an International Fellow with another $2,500 on top. The email stated that the online system wouldn't be updated until next week so everyone waiting can take heart, you might be in the scholarship pool.
  4. I think the real question is are there enough mirrors in the gym to allow for a solid view of me getting my pump on?
