Thanks! I can get my quant up to the mid 150s, and my consulting was full time for the year, but I hear your point. So the question is, besides the opportunity cost of completing the application, am I losing anything by applying? How does HKS look at applicants that re apply?

Also to append to my last post (that It seems I no longer can edit), I have also done multiple internships, and worked during college.

Hi Everyone. I have a 3.59 GPA, Aprox 1 year of strong work experience, both volunteer service based using my IR and tech skills and along with paid consulting. I have a IR degree from a Foreign Policy top ten IR program and I'm guessing fairly strong LORs. Problem is, I took the GRE last year and got a 168 V and 148 Q 5 W. Should I retake it to apply to Kennedy MPP, or is the quant too low? Thanks!

Still waiting on decisions for SSP, supposed to be released this week. Anyone heard anything?

Hmm rejected. It was a long shot since i am straight out of undergrad... Now waiting on SSP I guess.

Anyone also waiting for SSP?

Two weeks!!!?!?!?! Do they send rejections?

After a rejection from fletcher.....the wait feels even worse! Good luck to everyone. There is an acceptance in the database....seems too early for that though.

Thanks! I am straight out of undergrad (but with significant experience), so I guess it was a bit of a reach. I got the email around 15 min ago. Good luck with your schools.

I just got a rejection email

Got a rejection from fletcher MALD :/.... Waiting on MSFS and SSP...

per a phone conversation with admissions, decisions should be out 'in the next couple of weeks'. Applications are still being reviewed as of today.

Decided to remedy the absence of this thread! I applied to Gtown MSFS and SSP, Fletcher MALD and GW Security Policy Studies. So far I am one for one after hearing back from GW today! How good (Reputation and value) is the GW SPS program and what is the reputation compared to say Gtown SSP? I am coming straight out of undergrad with a fair amount of pre grad internship and work experience, but no federal position yet. I am also considering the private sector...would this be a good program for me? I am concerned that it is a "checkoff" MA for those already in the security track...

Anyone heard back yet!?
