Mr123 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) Hello guys, Thank you for reading this message. Please assign an acceptance percentage (assuming my essays are on point) to each of my schools listed below. Any other advice is welcomed. Here are my stats: Undergrad: Second Tier Ivy (Cornell, Brown, Upenn). Graduation date: 2013 BA: Political Science (International Politics focus); GPA: 3.67, Cumulative GPA: 3.60 GRE: Not yet taken..studying for 2 months. I am pretty good at standardized testing so I think that I will score a minimum range of (Q 153-160, V 155-162). Basically with my profile what GRE scores will make me "safe?" Econ/Math: Just Principles of Econ in undergrad, and three "political economy" like classes (3As, 1 B. I was actually a quant guy before undergrad, so I am currently refreshing my math with the hope of taking Micro,Macro, and Multivariable Calc before I apply in November. Is the Calc necessary? Work Experience: excluding undergrad internships: 1.75 at public sector consulting (doing a great deal of international disarmament/pandemic relief work; (think Deloitte, Accenture, Booz Allen). Leadership: coach to youth development program, pro-bono nonprofit consultant. Recommendations: 1 professor, 2 supervisors/bosses Language: Proficient in Spanish, Beginner in French Grad Schools --- I intend to study something political economy/international finance related. I plan to work in impact investing after graduation. Is an mba more relevant? Reaches WWS Oxbridge HKS SAIS Yale Jackson I think I am competitive schools SIPA SIS GWU Georgetown Fletcher I think I will get in Syracuse Denver Korbel Give as much advice as you can. Thanks again.
