Some Graduate Schools of Education do not ask for GRE scores in general. Some depend on the program. Are there any programs you know that do not ask for GRE scores/optional GRE scores?

There are also programs at Columbia Teachers College - Comparative and International Education Unv of Maryland - International Education Policy UCLA - Comparative and International Education

I have two deadlines on November 15th so I am finalizing and polishing my apps. Have you considered Northwestern's Human Development and Social Policy program as well?

Hello everyone, Since the application deadlines are getting closer and closer, I wanted to open this topic. Maybe we can share where and which programs we apply and exchange ideas. I will be applying to: Syracuse - Cultural Foundations of Ed. Ohio State - Ed. Policy Michigan State - Ed. Policy Northwestern University - Learning Sci. UNC Chapel Hill - Ed. Policy and Lead. Univ. of Illinois at Chicago - Ed. Policy and Lead. Columbia Teachers College - EdD in Intl. Educational Development University of Michigan Ann Arbor - Ed. Policy

Hello Alex, I think the best way to do this is to check the faculty of the universities you want to apply and see yourself if there are any professors working on the issues you want to specialize in. That is the path I have taken and I got some feedback and support from some professors about the application process and my research statement. Kind regards, Kemal

Which other colleges offer fully funded programs in PoliSci? As far as I know, Michigan Ann Arbor and University of Chicago are two of those. Thank you and good luck.

@BunniesInSpace The thing is I am currently on the process of moving to Chicago and that is why I wanted to apply to colleges around there. I am aware of the low GPA of my undergrad studies but fingers crossed. Thank you for the answer.
