  1. Hello, I am a upcoming senior at Boston College and am interested in applying to graduate international studies programs (preferably top ones, like SAIS perhaps). I want to know if my following circumstance will be considered when I apply: In my freshmen year, I did terribly in my science classes (which composed half of my course load) and got a 2.5 GPA as a result. My non science classes were all B's and A's that year. I then switched from Biology to Political Science and took the appropriate political science, economics, language and elective courses during my Sophomore and Junior year. I buckled down and literally only got A's in these class and expect to do so again this upcoming semester. Due to my first year, my current GPA is 3.48 and I expect it to rise to 3.51/3.52. I have good extracurriculars, above average standardized test scores, job experience (albeit not international studies related persay). Do I stand a shot against all the other applicants who didn't have a terrible first year as I had? I know it is never certain and more specifics could be stated, but I just want to know if there are people with similar freshmen years such as myself who still were accepted into top IS programs. You can ask more questions if you wish. I thanks you for any advice given.
