I am an international student currently attending the LL.M program at Georgetown Law and specializing in international law (international trade law mainly). I think I'll probably end up with a GPA around 3.5 for the degree. I joined the LLM program right after graduating from one of the top law schools in my country. Result: two degrees, no work experience. After spending six years studying law, an MPP would be a refreshing change. In fact, a life far far away from law would be even better.
I want to apply to the WWS MPP for lawyers in 2011, I'm keen on the international relations track. The long and short of it my friends is, would I have a shot with my profile? As for commitment to public service - I was president of the student body for a year and edited a journal. I also work for an NGO part time. Do these count? or does the program have higher expectations (feeding the hungry in Darfur perhaps)
I would really appreciate some input!
