How competitive am I for Ivy Grad Schools?

MA! I want to do something within the Government, specifically the State Department or perhaps an intelligence agency with a need for Russian speakers who also have sufficient understanding of global policy. The Foreign Service is also appealing to me. (Although you don’t need a degree for the FSO career track, there is so much I want to know I can’t imagine feeling satisfied after four years.)

If anything I’m leaning towards Russian and East European studies.

In regards to Georgetown, Tufts, Hopkins, how much more do you think I’d need to achieve to be competitive? I know Georgetown is the “it” school for anything government, which leaves me feeling very intimidated…as I should be! Yikes.

Tysm.
