My chances

<p>I`m brazilian and intend to join a graduate school in the USA.</p>

<p>Would like to know my chances as a PhD candidate to a Political Science programme.</p>

<p>I never submitted to GRE scores. BA in Law. Got a masters in constitutional law. My GPA - BA (0-10): 9,35 and MPhil (0-10): 9,1.</p>

<p>Toefl: OK.</p>

<p>My targets are the top 5 universities (specially Ivy League).</p>

<p>My chances?</p>

<p>Many thanks.</p>

<p>Do you have any kind of peer-refereed articles?</p>

<p>Yes I do. About 5 papers.</p>

<p>You might have a chance but, even in grad school, top-5 pol-sci PhD programs are reaches for everyone.</p>

<p>In this case, shall I apply to them at the same time? I’ve seen their sites and was wondering about GRE. ALL of them request GRE! I guess I’m too old to fit GRE requirements…</p>
