I'm interested more in an economics focus rather than a pure science policy focus, and I'm hoping that admissions committees will see the quantitative training I received as an astrophysics undergrad as transferable...(*cross fingers*). Thanks for your response!

Hello all, I received a degree in Astrophysics with a minor in Economics and a language citation in Japanese from a Top Ivy, and since graduation I have spent time in overseas international development work and now want to apply for IR grad school. Will majoring in Astrophysics be a serious disadvantage on my application if I have a qualifying GPA and GRE, as well as substantial research and academic performance in undergraduate government and economics classes? Additionally, I had significant leadership positions in international relations groups on campus. New to the forum, but would greatly appreciate any insight!
