I believe that they have a good impact on admissions chances i.e. helping to gain admission. But I am not sure how much they impact scholarships - I think that mainly depends on your grades. Also where did you go/what did you do with Americorps and the peace corps?

Hello! I am a current undergraduate at a Big10 midwest school studying Political Science with a concentration in International Relations, with minors in History and German Commercial Studies. I am slightly different of an applicant in that I am currently a sophomore but plan on graduating this upcoming May (i.e. graduating in four semesters) - I had a lot of AP credit and took full courseloads. Could anyone chance me for IR masters and grad program admissions? I am specifically highly interested in UChicago's CIR program as it is more academic in nature and I thought that it would be a great addition and complement to my situation, building off of my current knowledge of International Relations. I have good grades (3.95 GPA) but I have not taken the GRE since I am mainly focused on school and graduating. If anyone could give me any tips and advice that would be such a huge help! Or if anyone knows other masters programs that may sound of interest that I should apply to please let me know!
