Got in as well.

Oh, totally forgot about that. Thanks!

What do you mean? Are they still conducting interviews? Because I thought the interview conference was supposed to be held during 21-23rd Feb.

So, do we have any updates from candidates who attended the interview conference?

You're welcome. Good luck at the interview conference. Please share your experience once you're done with that.

I wish I could've waited another year for admission cycles to open so that I could apply to some of the better schools, and work in the meanwhile, but the problem is I'm an international student. Trying to find quality work experience relevant to my field has been a very discouraging experience for me so far. The odds are stacked against me because I am international, and require sponsorship in order to be employed by US employers. But employers are really unwilling to spend on sponsoring internationals. Worse yet, I'm here on a student visa which expires in July this year. If I get admitted to the Bush School, the visa will be renewed, otherwise I will have to go back to my home country, re-apply for a new visa, once I get admitted for a different masters program. All that is a lengthy process. Btw, what does the WE refer to?

Hello everybody, I completed my bachelors last year. I'd planned on applying to numerous public policy programs around the country, but extenuating circumstances arose and I was unable to conduct any research about programs. I was only able to apply to the MPSA program at the Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University. My undergraduate CGPA is 3.94. I scored 164 on my GRE quantitative section, 160 on the verbal section and a 5.5 on the writing section. I had very strong letters of recommendations from my professors and decent involvement and leadership credentials. I spoke with some people, and they have suggested that the MPSA program at the Bush School is a 4th tier program. They suggested that with my credentials, I can easily make it into some of the highest ranked public policy programs. To be honest, I've been very underwhelmed about the MPSA program at the Bush School after talking to some people. Do you think I should wait for the next admission cycle to start and apply to better schools, or should I go ahead with the MPSA program at the Bush School? Does anybody know anything about the Bush School?
