No problem. I'm an international applicant with a MA in Law from a top three university in my country (although I doubt that matters). I wrote my thesis in Forensic Science.

GRE Q157, V159, AW4.0

GPA 3.6 (calculated roughly into the 4.0 scale so that might be pretty irrelevant, too)

9 months spent living in Spain to work on the language, 4 months in the Netherlands; a bit of Chinese on the side.

Very nearly offered a position at the European Court of Human Rights (passed 3 super competitive stages; in the end wasn't offered the position due to limited work experience - just 1.5 years). I used it for all that it's worth

Did I miss something relevant?

I was accepted to MPA/IR dual degree but didn't get a buck for financial assistance.

I'll defer the study for a year and work first most likely.

However, I have a poor GRE performance... do you think if I retake the exam and hit a high score would help me getting some scholarship next year?

& The job offer I got was in banking, will this 'work experience' make sense to the admission committee at all? Or 'not even close'...

Looking for your advice!
