<p>I'm a rising junior at a top, progressive liberal arts school in the United States and plan my postgrad in international studies/affiars in the UK. My GPA is a bit on the low side (3.2/4.0). I'm working on bringing it up! </p>
<p>Me in a nutshell:
I'm majoring in Anthropology (maybe with Honors) and in English, in addition to a concentration in Peace and Conflict Studies.
Co-Chair for campus Peace Activist League and on the Board for our chapter of the Ishmael Beah Foundation (focuses on child soldiers and victims of war)
Worked at the UN twice
Served as an intern liasion between the Amnesty International Board of Directors and the New York office
Held positions at a few grassroots organisations focused on political torture
Work and study in Budapest, Hungary this spring
Social Media volunteer and blogger with nonprofit for education for women in Africa
Pretty irrelevant to international affairs, I work for a rape crisis hotline and used to be a nationally ranked artistic roller skater
Speak a basic level of French and some Hungarian </p>
<p>I'm reallyreally interested in King's College, U of St. Andrew's, U of Bristol, U of Dublin Trinity College, U of Sheffield, Newcastle University, U of Glasgow, School of Oriental and African Studies, London School of Economics, and City University London. Would any of these be impossible reaches for me considering my grades? What other schools would you suggest? How many programs does one usually apply to when going abroad? </p>
<p>I would appreciate any advice! Thanks!</p>
