Bump this up to see what you guys are thinking of the situation...in 2016, because I am facing the same dilemma here.
What makes matters more complicated for me is that HKS offered me full tuition as well. (Minus stipend though)
So, if you are an international student wanting to land a job at international organizations / NGOs in the States, which program would be more promising? HKS MPP or Princeton WWS MPA ?
I have to submit my GRE scores but am not sure which score would be better
v: 159 & w:5.0
v: 166 & w:3.5
(Quants scores are the same so not a variable here.)
So I figure it really depends on which portion weigh more (if at all)
Some people say that personal statement and essays can make up for low gre writing scores and it will be better to have as high a verbal&quants score as possible to increase any possibility of funding. How valid would that be? Is there really a difference between verbal scores and writing scores in admission process?
