Imperator_Taco Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Hi everyone! I'm currently working on my MA in International Political Economy, but am planning to apply for PhD in Political Science when I'm done. My political science grades are good, but got a B+ in Econometrics. I didn't do as well as I would've liked because this is my first time taking up any classes in statistics/economics. I'm asking because I've heard that MA students are expected to have straight As in grad school. Will this B+ kill my chances of getting into a decent political science grad program? Keep in mind that all of my other grades are pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcierePrudente Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 One factor—especially a grade or test score—is very unlikely to kill your chances of admission. If the rest of your application is strong, people shouldn't care about something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamersDay Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Probably a grade from a first semester of a four semester program will be less damaging than if it came later in your studies also, as long as you excelled at other quant classes.
