Accepted at Fletcher's MALD Program too! Very excited!

In at SAIS too! Nothing so far on funding.

Rejected too

Rejected

I got a rejection from SIPA today- a bit taken aback as I thought it was one of the less competitive programs I was applying to. I guess that is a good reality check.

@sfe510 They emailed. I think they are releasing rolling decisions as my friend heard from them a few days before I did, which stressed me out, only to hear from them yesterday.

Thanks quietman! Now the wait for the scarier results which for me include Harvard, Princeton, SAIS, SIPA and Fletcher

Just got an admission letter from McCourt School of Public Policy (Georgetown)!

You'll be fine. ETS sends scores in roughly 10-15 days. I would double check on the uni's website/admission pages. They usually mention the last dates you can take your GRE's by. Or email their admissions office.

^You can probably still apply to the places where the deadline is Dec 1 as GRE scores are sent in roughly ten days after you give the test and they don't start reviewing your applications immediately. I would still confirm by shooting their admissions office an email. Gvh and RCtheSS: Thanks for your responses! I'll rethink taking the GRE's again (though I still feel that the 4.5 is quite low).

Hi guys, I gave my GRE's two weeks ago and scored a 162/170 Quant and a 164/170 Verbal bringing my cumulative to 326. This is a decent score, but I was really aiming for a 330+ as I am applying to Public Policy programs at Harvard/Princeton/Columbia. J I just found out my writing score was just 4.5. Even though this is crunch time with applications due just a month away, I am seriously considering retaking my GRE's to try and cross the 330 barrier and get a 5+ on my writing score. Only problem is, I would be doing that on top of a very busy job and finding time to write all of my applications. What do you think I should do? Thanks!
