Strength of SOP: I felt really good about them. Spent a lot of time on them and thought they highlighted my strenghts.
Strength of LOR's: 2 well established professors -one I did volunteer work abroad with- and 1 project manager. I thought they would speak well on my behalf
Other: Really happy about being admitted everywhere. However, my funding offers have not been as generous as I might have hoped. Possibly because I worked in the private sector for two years instead of public sector work? Leaning towards HKS just for the name and considering doing JD-MPP. Anyone have thoughts about what I could do to merit more funding?
