Sure thing, I graduated in 2011 with a 3.5 from a large private Top 50 US university, 164v/156q/4.5aw, and five years of relevant work experience. Internship in federal government, then worked for two different economic development nonprofits. I was also accepted into UCLA's MPP program. Feel free to message me if you have any other questions.
My office sent me home today early because I'm sick. I had a nervous feeling right before I opened my mailbox based on past years' acceptance notification schedule, and sure enough, there it was. I got into USC's MPA program! Full tuition scholarship!!! Almost immediately burst into tears. Guess my decision is made!
Made an account just to share my excitement! Applied to three programs and today received an acceptance into the UCLA MPP program!! Waiting on USC and LSE now but I can't believe my luck! Not much of a quantitative background here so I was unsure if I'd get in but it's such a relief to finally know at least one.
