  1. Thank you so much for this input. It's good to get an outsider's perspective on these "pseudo-promises" they've been making. I'm heavily leaning towards Duke. @3dender - I'll message you privately, as I see you chose Sanford.
  2. Follow-Up Question: Berkeley alumni have said they were able to get assistantships fairly easily; I reached out to the woman who directs them, and she confirmed that I'm "highly likely" to secure one for all for semesters. This would cover most/all of tuition for Berkeley. Would that/should that move Berkeley up my list?
  3. I applied to Harris and got about a little over 10,000 annually in scholarships. Is this standard for everyone else?
  4. Hey all: I'm interested in studying education policy. Can I supplement my education at Heinz to get employed, realistically, or will the degree be a bit less valuable for me given that area of focus (and the extreme lack of education policy courses at Heinz...)
  5. Hi all, Thanks in advance for your input. I could really use it! I've been accepted to the following schools for the Master of Public Policy. I intend to study education policy. UVA (with sizable scholarship) Berkeley (no scholarship) Columbia (1/4 scholarship) Duke (about 1/2 scholarship) UChicago (about 1/4 scholarship, but could change) Michigan (about 1/3 scholarship, but could change) Carnegie Mellon (about 3/4 scholarship) Vanderbilt (very small scholarship) I was also waitlisted at HKS. Because of financial concerns, I'm prioritizing UVA, Duke, UChicago, Michigan, and Carnegie Mellon. However, Berkeley's got such a wonderful reputation... What are your thoughts?

  7. Thank you both so much for this input! Duke's certainly moved up to the top of my list. I spoke with a former CMU professor who taught ed policy and he explicitly said not to go to CMU if I'm looking to study education policy, so I can cross that off my list.
