<p>hi, I am a recent master's graduate from india. I am hoping to get into public policy programs in USA. However, my undergrad gpa is quite poor but my masters gpa is quite high (3.85). My undergrad was in marketing while my ms is in economics which is a more relevant subject for policy analysis as they require core economics background. My thesis is about to be sent for publication in international journals. my gre is also gud (90th percentile). i hav three great recos. I also hav 1.5 yrs exp in policy analysis. My question is do i stand a chance in top policy schools. my only weakness is my ugpa which is in an unrelated field.</p>
<p>just to elaborate - ugpa is 2.95, ms course filled with masters quant coruses in econometrics, time series analysis, mathematical eco etc with As.</p>
