  1. Hope you guys can help me know if I'm a good candidate. Program: MPP or MPA Interests: Urban policy Schools Applying To: GWU and AU for now Undergrad Institution: Venezuelan University (most renown one) Undergraduate GPA: 13/20 (Not sure what the GPA would be, think it could be under 3.0) Undergraduate Major: Law (Is an undergrad in Venezuela) Years of Work Experience: 5 years in a paid job, around 11 years in leadership roles Age: 28 Languages: English, Spanish and intermediate Portuguese Work Experience: I've been a city council member (elected official) in the capital of Venezuela for the last 4 years. Previous to this was a High School and University Student Leader (organized protests against Chavez), Secretary of the Youth Wing of a main opposition Political Party, Member of its national directorate, Youth Campaign Director of a Presidencial Candidate, Secretary of Municipal Affairs (all these occupied in different periods). I have participated as a speaker at various international summits on Human Rights (DC, Geneve, Oslo), written about 30 articles on politics in Local and Latin American news outlets. Hosted TV Interview program on politics. Received 8 awards and recognitions related to my political activism. LORs: Provost of my University (on my role as Student Leader) and Mayor of my city (currently exiled in the US due to political persecution by Nicolas Maduro) on my role as a City Council Member. SOPs: Wrote about my role as student leader, explained the experience of living in Venezuela and the political struggle I have led. Described some of the policies I've sponsored in the City Council. I'm basically nervous because of my GPA. Its actually low, but I really think that my CV and political experience in a country such as Venezuela could be interesting of the Admission's Committee. My plan is to study and come back to Venezuela to reconstruct the country once the Maduro Regime ends (and I plan to state this in my Personal Essays). Any tips or input? Should I be nervous? Does my low GPA affect my funding opportunities or could my experience compensate?
