Hi all,
What chances do I have of getting into a significant program with funding? I know this depends highly on the program, but I want to get a general idea.
Graduated with BA in Poli Sci from a solid public state school
Undergrad GPA: 3.78 (major gpa is 3.90)
GRE: 159V 146Q 5.5AW
Research Experience: two independent research courses about globalization
Teaching Experience: undergraduate TA for three different classes
Conferences: delegate representative at two undergraduate international foreign policy conferences at U.S. military academies
Volunteer: service-learning in Costa Rica and Belize
LoRs; one from notable tenured professor, one from young tenure track professor, one from tenured professor who was my academic advisor
Special Coursework: IR grad proseminar
Research interests: international security, international conflict, foreign policy decision-making- these are very flexible
I am very afraid that my low quantitative score will count me out of funding and possibly admission in the first place. I didn't apply to heavily quantitative programs for this reason.
