  1. Much thanks Etea24! Will definitely work on my GRE as a way to compensate for GPA as well.
  2. Hi Etea24, Thanks for sharing. I actually am looking to pursue a US/European Master's degree in PoliSci first, since pursuing a PhD while not having any prior background indeed sounds way too ambitious. Can I ask for more details about your transition to the current IR program? Like how did you manage to apply successfully with your transcript, considering business school would likely not provide enough required credits for an MA in IR? Thanks a lot in advance!!
  3. Hi GradCafe, My name's Thien. Political Science has been a long time research interest of mine, and I would like to pursue it for higher education. However, given I do not have a strong background in this area, I would love to receive your advice based on my experience and research interest. I graduated from a 3-year Bachelor of Business program in Western Sydney University (Australia), with a GPA of 5.833/7, or around 3.3/4.0 on US scale. I am currently a Research Manager at an international market research company, with around 3 years of professional experience. I have basic knowledge & experience working with statistics & quantitative analysis. In terms of research interest, I am interested in literature about political behavior, especially community psychology and nationalism. I am currently working with a Duke professor on a research paper about voting behavior in authoritarian country context, with plans of getting it published in a peer-reviewed journal by next year. The research is based on empirical data collected from a randomized controlled field experiment. I can speak fluent English, Vietnamese and a bit of French (DELF B1 level). I would like your advice regarding which institutions/countries (American/Australia or Europe) would be stronger in this research domain, and what are the chances that someone with little academic background in PoliSci can successfully switch to a master's degree (preferably in research track) in this field, and what should I focus in my application (LoR, writing sample, SOP, GRE score, etc.) to better my chances. I appreciate all your help and thanks in advance!
