Admitted at SIPA, Thanks God. No fellowship though. This was my only application, so I am quite satisfied of the result. Best of luck to anyone and look forward to meeting with you.

Hi, I am from France and will try to give you a fair opinion about science po. This is a prestigious school with strong european influence. French politicians, major business executives, let's say a big part of the french elite form its alumnis. This is a competitive school difficult to enter. Generally, the school provides a solid general training, which students usually complete with other programs including business programs, law, or the national administration school (french public service school). With respect to the MPA, I will say that the school alone suffers a deficit of international reputation compared to the other major reknown programs such as SAIS, SIPA, LSE etc...I think that the MPA is worth if added to SAIS, SIPA or LSE - because the education they deliver is very good - but not alone. If Europe is your target, science po is competitive. If the world is your target, then you want to join one of the joints proograms.

I think you should apply and retake the test. Make sure you inform them that you are retaking the test as well.

Hi all, difficult to have an answer to this question. Does anyone believe that it's still possible to hope for admission when the toefl score is below the 100 requirement, let's say between 97-99. Thanks for your help

Hi everybody, Does anybody know if some people can be admitted at SIPA with a toefl score slightly below the 100 requirement? Thx for your reply

Fes Alum, Hi. What program did u deny at HKS? MPP or MPA?

Politicalgeek, do you know any of your classmate from teh MPP working at teh World bank or something similar?

CERAM

Indeed that's what I wanted to know, where students end up. Thank you very much for this information.

Thank you. Is there a big difference between the 2 programs?

did you look at the SIPA MPA in sustainable development?

Thank you for this encouraging message. did you already graduate from the MPA/ID.

thank you for your answer. I finished university in 2005. I completed a Master's degree in Management (option Finance) from a french business school. Also good to know, I took the test 3 times and scored Q 670 the first two times.

I meant Wooldog

thanks a lot Woodlog.

Thx for your reply. Yes I did studied. But it was the 3rd time that I passed it. I scored Q670 the first 2 times and V480 and V450. I think retrospectively that I was too precipitated and that I should have waited. I read lots of people are scared to pass it several times. However, GRE test takers can take it 5 times in a year. Therefore, I think that I should seize my chance again bc I am sure to score higher that Q700. What's your view on that?

Hi all, Fall 2010 applicant to HKS, SIPA, JHU and may be WWS.
