I hold an undergraduate degree in Political Science and Middle Eastern Studies (3.7) and will be completing a Master's degree from Georgetown's School of Foreign Service (3.9) in May of this year. I have lived/worked in rural western China and Mumbai, held positions organizing for Senate campaigns, and currently intern at the US Dept. of State. I plan on applying this application cycle and hope to begin at a T20 school in the fall of 2017.
Your biggest worry about your application.
Personal Statement--- I have a tendency to communicate in one of two ways: (1) emphatically and emotively (2) very academically and dryly. My Personal Statement needs to frustratingly blend those two communication styles.
Two ideas for your personal statement.
1. Illustrating how a certain professor/course during my final year of undergrad propelled me to explore/question the world and my place in it-- resulted in a major shift of political and religious orientation. This process has enabled me to understand and respect the views of those who are different than my own while also creating a passion to play a role in the process of self-discovery for others, as my professor did for me.
2. A lesson from my time in Mumbai-- first time I'd ever seen someone die as well as the first time I'd ever witness a child born, both in slums--- which I have yet to fully figure out how to articulate or how to relate towards the application but definitely a set of Life Changing Moments
Did you attend last time? Did I get to you?
No.
