Hi all, I'll be applying to MPP programs and probably a couple of education policy programs for Fall 2010. I majored in Political Science at a top 25 liberal arts college and graduated in 07 with a 3.90 GPA. I've been teaching in New Orleans for the past two years with Teach for America and will be teaching a third year at my placement school. I took the GRE today and scored 660 V and 760 Q. I'm still wavering between a strictly ed policy focus or an MPP but still specializing in ed policy. I'd love to hear any opinions on the MPP programs that are strongest in ed policy. I'm also still considering educational administration, so that's a bit of a wildcard.
Right now I'm planning on applying to quite a few schools, at least in part because some of them have an application fee waiver for TFA alums.
MPP/MPA: KSG, WWS, Duke, UChicago, GW, Georgetown, Berkeley, Michigan, Wisconsin, Syracuse
Ed Policy: Brown Urban Ed Policy (1 yr. program), Columbia Teachers College, Harvard School of Education - Ed Policy/Management, Vanderbilt (Ed policy)
