2011fall

Thanks Mocha!! very true! at least i am in the running and finger crossed now.

any thoughts my friends??

just submitted all my application for fall 2011. All in Public Policy. GRE: 770 verval, 800 Quantitatives, 3.0 AW (very frustrated about this, but could not do anything now. Wrote an explanation/argument on the unrepresentative score together with other application materials.) Undergraduate GPA: 3.358 (international politics) Master QPA: 3.9 (public policy and management from top 20 program in the US) LOR: all three are my former professors (one is retired US counsil general in lots of Asia countries-Harvard alumni, one graduate college exeutive director, and one former professor in graduate school) No published work. very related working experience in focus area. (but only 1-2 years full time) I am an international student. applied for harvard, NYU, chicago, duke, GWU and maryland... got very nervous about the results. I have been working really hard on the preparation when i am full time working and really passionate about the research area. but phd is hard and very selective. I believe everyone is great and has their unique experience. and really worried about my extreme low GRE AW score. any idea for chances to those programs? thanks!
