I'm about to hit send on a couple of applications, but a few programs ask which other MPP programs I may be applying to (SIPA, notably). Do you list all the schools you are applying to? Is there a trick here that I'm missing lol...

About to send mine tonight! So nervous...what's usually the turnaround like?

So crazy to have the apps go out already, the result can't come soon enough... I applied too and getting ready to submit the next round of apps for other schools. I'm nervous about my GRE - 154V/160Q, but I've got about 5 years of work experience and I started a non-profit so I really hope that it will carry me through. The GRE is really giving me nightmares though.

Who's applying this year? This thread has been quite inactive! so nervous to submit my app...

I understand the quant resume length can vary, but what about your professional resume? Can this be longer than one page or should we really strive to be at one page? I have about five years of experience plus college internships..trying to get an idea of what to keep and what not to keep

I am interested in applying to LSE for their MPP program. My GPA at a top US university is 3.487. I noticed their website indicates a 3.5 GPA cutoff. Any idea if I would be automatically dinged with my situation? Or would this be considered "rounded up" since it's quite close? Wasn't sure if there were any exceptions.

I am working on my apps for MPP programs, and I'm kicking myself for trying to get through to the SIPA program early action. One of my recommenders likely won't be able to get her information submitted in time due to significant travels on her side. And now I'm even considering retaking the GRE (312 score -- 153V/159Q) as I'm getting nervous about my scores being too low. Is there a significant advantage in applying early action or is it best to wait until your app is in the best shape possible? I've been debating asking another mentor to rush and submit a rec instead, but now I'm just considering holding back and re-working things all together instead of rushing everything. Thoughts? Also very curious on any feedback regarding my GRE score for top MPP programs...it's giving me nightmares :(
