IR2010 · 11-08-2009, 10:21 PM

I'm applying to IR / International Affairs programs at Georgetown, Tufts and John Hopkins. I am ignorant about the admissions process. Roughly what odds do I have of getting accepted at these schools?

-3.5 GPA from University of Southern California
-BS in Business and BA in Spanish w/ a minor in Latin American studies
-Studied abroad in Santiago, Chile and Madrid, Spain (also taught English in Chile)
-Did self-designed undergrad research (received funding from USC)
-Very strong @ Spanish
-Travelled to 50+ countries
-590 Verbal and 750 Quantitative w/ a low 4.5 on the writing section.

(Hoping to concentrate on Latin American policy in the grad program)

How are my chances?

Thank you! (Honesty appreciated)
