I just discovered this forum, and i already gathered a number of useful information. However,
i am still kind of unsure about the my chances. I would be extremely greatful for any feedback.

Letters of Recommendation: One from a fairly well known Econometrics Prof (was my supervisor, phd Michigan) one from a senior pol sci professor (I tokk two corses with him) and one assistant prof (fairly strong LOR)- they all have supposedly good connections
Research Experience: Junior researcher for two projects kind of unrelated to my interests in the major Research Institute in my country, one publication in a local peer reviewed paper, a Revise and Resubmit at Electoral Studies, some other research papers with respective conference talks, member of a university based research group in pol behavior
