  1. Congrats to both of you on your acceptances! I was also offered a fellowship (and am also from CA) and will be heading up in March for the second open house. I will most likely be attending UW. Hoping to meet some of you at the Admitted Student Day and/or this fall!
  2. Thank you so much, @Connie @ TheArtofApplying! While my economics course grades were good, I've made it a point to stress my quantitative work experience in my SOP. Your LOR tips are helpful - I'm doing another round of follow ups this week so I have my fingers crossed. Thanks again!
  3. Program/Institution: MPA (UW Evans, USC, and some state schools) Interests: Education, social policy, non-profit management Undergrad Institution: top 10 public university Undergraduate Major: Sociology, Economics Undergraduate GPA: 3.5 GRE: 152Q, 156V, 4.5 AW Years of Work Experience: 3 years of full-time experience Work Experience: 3 years at an education non-profit organization focused on data collection/analysis for education policy. Prior to that, interned at another education non-profit organization in DC where I worked with data analysis/collection and student program coordination. I also taught global studies to high school students through an undergraduate program. LORs: One from current boss, one from former boss/established university program director, currently working on one from a former professor. Concerns: I'm worried about my low GRE quant score despite my quantitative work experience and background in economics. I'm also worried about getting my final LOR from a professor, as they have been incredibly unresponsive (and are known for being unresponsive due to the large size of their classes) - I'm fine for UW Evans and the state schools, but USC requires 3 LORs with one being academic. I understand I'm not applying to Harvard or the like, but I am still nervous! Any comments or advice are welcomed! Thank you!
