How do I better my chances at getting into grad school (nyu, duke OR boston U)?
I graduated with three BAs and a minor (all social science except the minor) with a 3.4 GPA. I’m in an honor society for leadership, I made the dean’s list my last semester and I speak three languages (one critical). I’m also working full time with a well known non-profit that works to stop drunk driving.
My interests are water management, hydropolitics and conflict resolution related to water, specifically in the middle east. Before I apply to a master’s program, I’m hoping to apply (and get in) to a grad certificate program in environmental management.
Please be honest and realistic … what are my chances at getting accepted and how can I improve them (especially at NYU)?
and btw I am looking high and low for a job/internship/fellowship related to my field of interest, but i’m not finding any in my area (and i can’t financially afford to quit and move just yet)
O most of these programs don’t require a GRE, so I can’t use that score to better my chances
thanks for any help
Your GPA is what would worry me.
