  1. Hi all, refining my process now and hoping to get some feedback. Any recommendations for other programs I should look into or general advice would be great as well. Program Applying To: MPA Schools Applied To: AU, Georgetown, GW, UCSDUndergraduate institution: AUUndergraduate GPA: 3.68Undergraduate Major: International StudiesGRE Quantitative Score: GRE Verbal Score: GRE AW Score: Taking soonYears Out of Undergrad (if applicable): 0Years of Work Experience: 7+Describe Relevant Work Experience: 7 years in the Navy, 2 deployments, fixed airplanes. So subject wise not relevant, but skill wise I've made the argument before that it helped me create a process based approach to learning. I also worked 10 months with an international development NGO as a program assistant, doing some admin and background support for 2 major USAID projects they were managing in Nigeria. And I've interned with the East-West Center in DC, writing a few articles. Strength of SOP (be honest, describe the process, etc): Pretty strong, talk about how my last deployment found me in the South China Sea, how my career to that point had me ignorant but on the periphery of some serious global events, and how that drove me to seek to find out why that was and how to make it better so things aren't as risky. Strength of LOR's (be honest, describe the process, etc): Very strong, professor I've taken off and on for years, my supervisors, they go to bat for me regularly and always write amazing recommendations. I've kept up the relationships pretty well over time so they've seen my work develop.Other: Gilman scholarship to study Chinese this past summer, also won a scholarship to study Chinese in Taiwan last summer.
