Although I am applying to several other programs, I mostly want to know what my chances are at Michigan:
Undergrad
GPA: 3.86 (Political Science/German double major; minors in Philosophy and Int'l Development); Cum Laude and with Honors (including an Honors Thesis); large, decent university
GRE: 590v, 610q, 6w
Graduate
MA in IR
Small, but prestigious (I think) IR program in Europe (with an incomprehensible grading scale that will probably put me near the top of my class)
Full fellowship
Several internships
Multiple scholarships, grants, awards, fellowships
5 or 6 international conference presentations (including an invited presentation by an NGO formed by the Prince of Monaco)
5 or 6 publications (though the peer-reviewed one is forthcoming)
One LOR from former high-ranking UN official; one from a well-known American political scientist
I also have a pretty good relationship with (and advocate in) the professor I have proposed to work with at Michigan (though I don't know if this will help).
In the end, I'm most concerned about my GRE score; I'm considering retaking it in the next few weeks, but I read slow and I'm not sure how much I could improve it.
Any conjectures on a Michigan application?
