so I am freaking out about fall 2009 admissions! I am a senior at a top 100 university getting a BS in Political Science, 3.5 GPA, internships at US Congress, state government, lobbying firm, and Northern Ireland Parliament. Member of Poli Sci honors society, leadership honors society, and Golden Key International.
I am also studying abroad in fall 2008 at the London School of Economics and interning in the UK Parliament while there.
My major worry are the GREs. I have being taking practice tests and I am not too thrilled with my scores. How much weight does the GRE carry? I know that I don't have to submit them at 3 of my schools (Kings, Edinburgh, and McGill) but I am still really worried. I am planning on a taking a weekend prep course in two weeks and then I am taking the test the Tuesday after that.
I am applying to:
NYU - MA European Studies
Columbia - MPA
McGill - MA European Studies
University of Washington - MPA
University of South Carolina - MA International Studies
University of Texas - Austin - Master of Global Policy
Kings' College London - MA International Relations
University of Edinburgh - MSc International ad European Politics
Thoughts? Help!?
