<p>Hello, I'm currently a junior studying history and Italian studies. I am doing some research over Christmas break to acquaint myself with graduate school prep and the SAIS program has really caught my eye. Specifically, I am interested in the M.A. in International Relations.</p>
<p>I've read the average GPA of incoming students is 3.5, which I surpass. I have not yet taken the GRE or GMAT. Nor have I taken any economics classes, but I plan to take a few (micro/macro econ) this summer. I studied abroad in Italy last year as a sophomore and would love to return via the Bologna program.</p>
<p>I am currently searching for a job or internship as well. I have read that many SAIS applicants gain professional experience for a few years following undergrad...is this highly recommended?</p>
<p>Besides adding working experience to my resume, do I have any glaring holes I should address while I still have time to do so? Thanks in advance for any responses!</p>
