I am in last year of Bachelors of Arts, and majoring in Political Science in Uni of Waterloo (Canada)



I want to become a diplomat in the long run but i don't know if i should apply? and where...



My stats -- 3.4 (75%) cGPA ..... 3.7 (82%) GPA last 2 years of Undergrad. Fluent in 5 languages.... not too much on extracarricular activities...



I want to apply to either Canadian International Relations School (Munk or NPSIA) OR American (SIPA or any other)... but i have heard Schools need you to have working experience, is that true? How competitive are my marks for those schools?



If my marks are not too competitive, what kind of work or activitiy abroad i can do to make up for my marks? What kind of jobs and where do i apply?



Please help with anything i may be missing!

Hi ijomer, you can try searching for International Relations MA courses here:

I'm afraid I don't know what your chances are at the 2 schools you mentioned, but it is probably a good idea to make a few enquiries. Good luck!
