<hr>

<p>I sincerely appreciate your input. Naturally, I have other safeties, but I was curious if I have the potential to be admitted into top-notch undergraduate IR programs. If you know of any other schools that you think would interest me, please inform me.</p>

<p>I forgot to mention that (as a part of the Forgotten Global Crises Club), I started a new library at my school, which houses volumes pertaining to political science, international relations, and economics.</p>

<p>With your stats, your guess is as good as ours.</p>

<p>Keep your stats up and you’ll have as good a chance as any other competitive applicant. Good luck!</p>

<p>Bump! Please help me decide if I it would be strategic to apply SCEA to Stanford, ED to JHU or Penn, or EA to Georgetown.</p>

<p>Kind of annoying question: How does 8 hours a week make you a world champion?</p>

<p>Anyways, go EA to Stanford, unless you know you want to attend one of the other ones. You will probably get into at least one of those schools.</p>

<p>If one of those is your dream schools then apply early there. If not I would suggest SCEA at Stanford. I think you weigh your GPA however you school weighs it. You can see what other students got to get into those schools at my site [■■■■■■■■■■■■■</a> - Home](<a href=“http://www.■■■■■■■■■■■■■.com%5DmyCollegeSTAT”>http://www.■■■■■■■■■■■■■.com)</p>

<p>Those are my officially logged training hours. Of course, I practice many more in the mornings and evenings, but they are not official. Is it okay for me to include them in my application?</p>

<p>Bump! How do you all think these schools stack up against one another? Please recommend others you think I would enjoy.</p>
