My gpa in my master's program was a very mediocre 3.45 and my GRE scores from before I entered my MA program weren't too good either, except for the analytical score, which I got a 6.0 on. What are some decent schools that would accept me into their Political Science PhD program? I've been looking at Vanderbilt, George Washington, UCLA, Boston College, UMASS.....any other ones that I would have a semi-decent shot of getting into? Remember this is an MA program, so a 3.45 is much worse than a 3.45 in an undergrad program. Thanks for your help

Take the GREs again. You may want to take a prep course before you take it. Your 3.45 isn't quite as bad as you think. You may not be able to get into a top five school -- but can probably ge tinto a top 20 school. Apply to some of the better state schools. They will let in more PhD students because they need TAs.

George Washington University is a good one for Political Science! My sister just got her Master's from there in Political Science. I don't know what their requirments are as far as GPA's go, though.

Standford. That's where I'm going for my Masters.
