  1. Hi Everyone, I am very apprehensive regarding my competitiveness, the funding and the program that best suits my requirements/objective. I would really appreciate if you people can help me out. Introduction/Profile, I have graduated from IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) in 2010 . IITs are considered to be the best engineering institute in India. I have 4 years of work experience in 3 different organizations 1st with a renewable energy consulting firm (14 months) the with an leading Insurance company (1 year) the 3rd one is my current employer which i a political consulting firm dealing with political leaders to strategies their campaign. Here I got a good exposure to manage field surveys and public interaction from various sections of society and in all the three organizations I have an extensive exposure of data analysis and MS excel tools. GRE score VA-155, QA-168, AW-3.0 CGPA 6.35/10 (didn't get a reliable scale to convert it from Indian CGPA out of 10 t US GPA) I feel that my strengths are- IIT degree (a globally recognized brand), Good GRE 323, and work ex. (3 different kind of roles and the last one in political consulting firms gives a relevant policy exposure..please correct me at this point if I assume something wrong...??) I feel tat my weaknesses are- a pathetic AW in GRE 3.0, a below average GPA My queries? 1. My ultimate objective to earn an MPP is influencing policy design and implementation scenario in India for major public welfare schemes. Now a very frank question- is MPP a suitable match for moving towards my goal, or there are other better suited degrees? 2. Now keeping in mind all my strengths and weaknesses, and also my strong willingness to get a debt free MPP degree, Please suggest the best possible schools in US or anywhere in the globe...provided they have good reputation, good funding and serves my purpose 3. this query is basically a sub-part of query no. 2, as i already mentioned my aim ultimately entails me to come back to India ultimately, so what should be a right path- to stay in US and try to work with some recognized bodies like UN,WB, IMF and then return to India or there is some better choice I may have? 4. I can get LoR from some really influential people like Member of Parliament (MPs), Member of state Legislative Assembly (MLAs) but I have heard that it is better to get a LoR from someone who have worked with more closely and for a long duration while I have not worked with any of these people for more than 6 months. Also my terms with my former employer and ex employer are very good and I can expect a good LoR from them but obviously their stature is not like the MPs or MPs. SO what is suggested in such a case? I know that my queries are very comprehensive and demand a lot of efforts and great deal of time for some one w to answer completely but I would be really grateful if someone can do that for me. Thanks a lot in advance. Cheers. PS- I would be glad to provide my personal email if someone want to have discussion in greater lengths, please do let me know in such a case.
