<p>Over the past couple months, I have worked on graduate school applications for public policy and philosophy. I am down to my last three. Because I have applied to universities in the UK, I know little to nothing about my chances for acceptance into the only American university I applied to, the Harris School of Public Policy at UChicago. </p>
<p>My primary question is how much do they weigh work experience and age, as well as do I even have a shot in hell?</p>
<p>Stats:
senior at Lehigh University
Majors: Philosophy and French and minor: German
Cum. GPA: 3.55 and major GPA (phil): 3.6
