Thank you for your reply and for your very helpful feedback. With regards to safety schools, I was admitted to Michigan Law as a pre-admit over the summer. I applied to Michigan Law because it has a special program whereby UM students with high GPAs can apply without taking the LSAT and because it has a strong international law/comparative law curriculum (allowing me to still study the EU, except through a slightly more legal and less political perspective). Essentially, MLaw is my ‘safety’ school, so I only applied to Polsci programs that I would either prefer over MLaw or which would be a close call.
