I cross posted this in “What are my chances” so if I’m in the wrong please forgive me.

I’m an older (mid 30s) recent Tulane University graduate.
I attended evening classes mostly, and graduated with a 3.85 primarily political science and history. Technically my major was social science (as being an evening school student gave me some price break on my fees).

I did take several day classes including: International Conflict, Terrorism, European and Latin American Politics, Policy and Public Opinion (taught by James Carville), etc.

I am interested in studying in the UK (I’d like to work for an organization in the US that operates in the UK or for a UK based organization eventually).

I’m applying to Royal Holloway (Political Communication), King’s College London (International Relations), U of Glasgow (Political Comm) and my backup is Middlesex University (International Relations).

Only issue with my past is I attended school in the 1990s with poor grades primarily due to finances and depression. I did finish strong before leaving school in the 1990s with straight As. Tulane transferred my classes but did not factor my grades into determining my honors status or my GPA.

Curious if I have a good shot at any of those schools…
