Hodor Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 **Sorry I already posted this in PoliSci, newb mistake in not seeing this forum first *** Hi, I have an undergrad in history from a not very good state school but a 3.92 GPA, and half a master's in Intl' Studies from another so-so school with a 3.6. In addition, 2 years teaching abroad and 4 years teaching total, I speak three foreign languages. I recently took the GRE, getting 710 V, 800 Q (haven't found out writing yet but I have a ton of writing samples that are pretty good, I'm thinking 5.0 at least) I want to get into a better program, preferably in public policy. Even though my schools are not prestigious, I think my GRE scores will help. Does anyone know of schools that are more likely to weigh GRE and especially when awarding financial grants/scholarships? In general, what are my chances in getting into a top tier programĀ and getting money? I would like to attend a good school, but also one that would lead to non-academic employment while still awarding aid (we can dream can't we?) Also, I pretty much plan on walking away from the current master's, will this hurt me? Any help is appreciated.
