Hey @MrBP22, I'm right now thinking about using the degree to work as an analyst for either the State Department or a federal agency. However, I also want to go into an academia eventually.
I thought I did alright on the GRE. I'm more of a math person and so I got Q: 155, V: 150, and W: 4.5. In undergrad I got a 3.6 GPA but I currently have a 4.0 in my MA program. I have lots of experience working with development, but since I am switching from development work to security studies, I will be curious to see how they weigh everything.
