Hello all, I’m a junior at a not particularly prestigious college and I want to see how competitive my application might be for some grad schools I’m looking to apply to. I’m looking to get a Masters degree in international relations. I currently have ~3.6 GPA, member of the IR National honor society, was awarded a peace prize by my college, was a founding member and president for one year of a humanitarian club, VP of the debate team, VP of an environmental club, have interned at an environmental advocacy organization for 2 summers, and had a fellowship at another environmental advocacy organization for a fall semester. I’m still waiting to hear back from some internship programs for this summer, but worst case scenario will be interning for a political campaign. I’m also studying abroad in Tunisia next semester and will have an internship there as part of my program, I’m also studying Arabic if that’s relevant.

The grad schools I’m currently looking at are:
Georgetown SFS
John’s Hopkins SAIS
Princeton SPIA
Tufts Fletcher School
Science Po
Syracuse Maxwell School
George Washington
American University

Any advice on where I stand to get into any of those programs would be greatly appreciated, as well as any recommendations on what I can do to improve my application or some other grad programs to look into. Thanks!
