I'm planning on attending the GSPP admitted student event in DC. Stupidly, I left my information about the event at home, and I can't find it online or reach anyone in the Berkeleyadmissions office. Does anyone know the start time? I believe it starts at 6:30, but I'm not sure. Thanks!

I called the admissions office, and they told me that the open house is April 9th (rather than April 5th as sliced_cheesecake reported - if you spoke to another admissions rep, I'm not sure who to believe). They also said that they will send decisions "sometime between this week and the first week in April."

Does anyone know how often WWS accepts people off of the waitlist? And what, if anything, does getting waitlisted at WWS mean for my chances at HKS? Thanks in advance for any insights.

I was admitted to Berkeley, and I'm trying to learn more about the program. I know that the curriculum focuses on methodological training rather than content areas and that the program is fairly small, but there's a lot I can't tell from their website. Here are some issues that are important to me, not necessarily in order of importance: -Quantitative training and courses about the policy-making progress. How does Berkeley's core compare to GPPI's? -Social policy program, especially regarding anti-poverty and low-wage labor market issues -National reputation (I know most Berkeley grads work in CA - how highly is the program regarded in DC)? -Contact with faculty -Close-knit community of students who are interested in social justice I also got in to GPPI, and I am waiting to hear from Harvard, Princeton, and Michigan's masters' programs, and GWU's PhD program. Thanks in advance!
