Hi!

I’m from Colombia, I’m currently studying @ Universidad Nacional de Colombia (which is one of the best around here) and soon to be graduated from econ and statisctics (double major).
Now my question is how likely it is for me to get accepted into a MPP/MPA program in a top school in USA, considering that I’m getting one or two years of work experience here in Colombia. I know my GPA may seem low, and specially coming from a poorly recognised institution, but in my uni the average GPA is around 2.9-3 and mine is one of the best in my class.
Oh and I forgot to mention that I’m considering as well taking a semester abroad in University College of London or Université catholique de Louvain in Belgium.
PS: I speak english, french and spanish.

Thank u
