Thanks so much for your comprehensive reply, jmleadpipe.
I was wondering if you, or anyone out there had any idea about how much of a factor affirmative action plays in the admissions process for IR grad schools. I guess I’m worried as an Asian American, if this might hurt my chances- my numbers might be pretty good, but I know that there are different standards imposed for different groups (by the way, I am all for it, diversity of student body is an important factor for me, and all the more so in the field I believe).
