Best schools for comparative: Western Europe

[amandaaimeparis]

Hi!

I am going to be applying to Ph.D. programs in comparative politics, specializing in Western Europe, and I am looking for advice on some target and safety schools.

My GPA is 3.5 (3.7 in major, which is poli sci), GREs are 740q690v5.0w (percentile on verbal was 96), and I should have good LoRs, and good extracurriculars, including ODK membership. I've never held internships due to financial need, but consistent work experience, and will be doing research this fall.

I would really appreciate any help--no one in my family has ever gone to grad school before and I kind of feel really overwhelmed by the entire process!

Thanks!
