Jufarius87, thanks very much on the input. Was nervous about the multi score, but yes hope my GRE helps somewhat. Have taken courses in Stats for Social Science, 2 courses on probability, and single variable (As in all but one prob course). Got a B in Linear Algebra :/ You think it is worth addressing the C+ in optional essays (basically as a lesson in time management, was a difficult semester)? Do you have any input on which schools are better for quant study? Best of luck on your admissions as well.

Hey all, hope everybody is getting through the application processes somewhat painlessly. Looking to see what my chances may be for MPA programs. Programs: LSE MPA International Development, SAIS MA International Development, Columbia SIPA Economic and Political Development, Tufts MALD Undergaduate institution: University of California, Berkeley Undergraduate Degree: BS Environmental Economics and Policy Undergraduate GPA: 3.67 (3.8-3.9 Major GPA) GRE: Verbal: 162; Quant: 162 (AW 4.0) Years out of Undergrad: 2 years (at time of enrollment) Years of Work Experience: 2 years full-time (at time of enrollment) Describe Relevant Work Experience: - consultant at agricultural research institute in Bangladesh - researcher (including project design) for non-profit in East Africa - intern with group that provides legal representation for groups affected by international financial institutions Languages: English (native), Bengali (working), French (basic), Kiswahili (basic) Quantitative: math up to multivariable (but received C+ in MV Calc), concepts of probability SOP: probably nothing special, but solid LORs: 1 former professor of economics, 1 project supervisor, and 1 who was both Questions: WE substantial enough for entry into top programs? How do not-the-greatest math scores affect chances into quantitative programs? Which are better programs to enter for quant study? Should I address my C scores in MV Calc in optional essays? Thanks!
