Yeah, I have. It seems like a great program and definitely the best way to get a secure job at the UN if you get in. I'm actually interning at the UN at the moment and think I could use a break from it

Thanks everyone for the feedback! I'm not really interested in working as a lawyer, or in policy actually. I've focused mostly on law and development and comparative constitutional law. I'd like to work in development and feel like the MPA would give me the quantitative and project management skills that law school hasn't I am still thinking about taking some time off to work for a while-- I'm taking a year off of law school at the moment to get more field experience in Southeast Asia so might go back to that after finishing my last year of law school. I'm pretty concerned about being able to easily secure a job after the program. The program at my school isn't known for having the most supportive alum network or career services so that put the dual degree out of the running for me.

I'm currently in law school and thinking of applying to MPA programs directly after I finish. I have a 3.67 undergraduate GPA from top-15 undergrad and will have 3.1/3.2 GPA from top 5 law school (that's based on my calculation, my school doesn't actually calculate GPAs) Does anyone happen to know if my low law school GPA will sink my chances at places like MSFS/SAIS/Fletcher/HKS? Thank you in advance!
