It's a 2.8, but based on previous experience I know I can test well and I like having the option of using LSAT scores at Fels. One thing I feel completely confident about is my ability to tie my life experiences into my goals both in and after the program, so SOP/interviews should help too. Thanks for the advice of also aiming for schools that are more within my estimated range, I guess it's just as important as aiming high. Any suggestions for Public Policy programs in the Philadelphia area? I know that Drexel offers an MS in PP, and Rutgers has a fairly substantial PP program, but that is about all I have discovered thus far. My eventual goal is to be involved in the local scene, so it seems the best path would be staying in the area and making the contacts that would eventually become essential, though I can't say I wouldn't consider moving out of the area for a great program.

Just wondering if it's laughable for me to aim specifically for Fels, the best program in my area, with a sub-3.0 uGPA? Not sure if any amount of stellar test scores or a brilliant SOP (explaining why I thought a BA in Art would ever be a worthwhile endeavor) could balance it out. Any feedback appreciated.
