Don't know enough about the schools on your list to comment, but you might considering check out Georgia Tech's MPP program as well. Sounds like your interests align very closely with one of areas of focus in the MPP.

Thanks to those who sent PMs - they were very helpful.

Hello everyone! I'm currently a sophomore at a state university - UGA - that boasts a respectable MPA program and I'm wondering whether an MPA is right for me. I'll have the option to graduate undergrad. in 3 years or take a 4th year for a master's (so if I do pursue an MPA it will be at UGA). Ultimately I hope to go to law school and work in administrative law. Here's the problem: I am not a math person. I've taken Calc I and some basic Stat courses to meet the MPA pre-reqs but I have no desire to take more math beyond that. I've managed to struggle through those courses with decent grades (mostly B's) but feel that my grasp is very tenuous and I would struggle to apply my math skills to policy analysis. As I said above, I want to work in administrative law so I initially thought an MPA would be helpful insofar as it seemed like a good way to learn more about the function of government. Now, I'm not certain that's the right approach. In a nutshell, are my desires to learn about public administration while also avoiding math incompatible? Is an MPA cut out for me? Any thoughts or suggestions (UGA-specific or general MPA) would be greatly appreciated.
