ADL Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hi, I have a question. If every other part of my application is good (I have a good GPA (3.5), high GRE scores good recommendations etc...) how important are internships when applying to a masters program? My only experience with the Middle East is that I lived there for a year, speak hebrew and went on an archeological excavation there for a summer. I also studied a little about it in my anthropology minor and history major. I am looking to go into Middle Eastern Studies and looking at schools like Columbia University, Chicago University etc... if that helps. Thanks!!!!!

tt503 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Internships aren't really that important, though they really won't hurt. Master's programs are notoriously less competitive than PhDs, so you won't be a disadvantage if you don't have "internships"... Your stats look good. Just make sure that you note that it is University of Chicago and not Chicago University ;-) Also, Chicago and Columbia are very different programs, so make sure you have a focused area of interest.
