<p>Sciences Po is one of the most competitive schools in France. I’d recommend working on your GPA to get it up as high as possible before applying.</p>
<p>This is where I’d like to go next year as well.</p>
<p>Do you know if the applied/accepted figures are published anywhere? Two years ago the figures were on the website but I can’t seem to find them now. At the time, one of the economics programs in which I was interested said 52 international students had applied and 20 were accepted. That seemed like a ridiculously low number of applicants.</p>
<p>Any suggestions on how to improve my chances?</p>
<p>I graduated two years ago from ASU with a BA in political science (not a great GPA). I’ve got a proper desk job at a Fortune 100 company, working full-time and in the last year of a BS in Econ (3.9 GPA). Will age and experience help at all or will I still need a well-respected professor to write a stellar letter of recommendation? Does being American help me?</p>
