    How was it? Did they ask you to do a case study or only personal questions? Any tips for people going into their interviews soon? :) 

    Nice and quick!? 15 minutes. Consisted of 3 parts: 1- personal questions about background and why I wanted to study at LKYSPP. 2- Case study questions which they sent me a long with the case study 30 minutes prior to the interview 3- I was given the opportunity to ask questions

    the case study was easy and the questions were pretty straightforward. You will find all the answers in the paragraphs (except for the last one I had to perform mathematical calculations but pretty straightforward ones)

    the interviewer was a faculty member. Really nice and kind. Just relax and you will do great!

    Hi there, Fellows
    Congratulation to those you got in!
    It seems like most of you guys here are in-state residents. I am wondering if there are any of you guys who got accepted in and are international applicants?

    Hi! I am an international applicant and I got accepted :) 

  3. Hi Everyone! A first time poster here

    I would like to pursue a career as a policy analyst in the public sector in order to work on reducing the burden of road traffic injuries. It has been a goal of mine since like forever, but I did not know how to achieve that goal. Now I know I would like to complete a master of public policy/administration program, and I am certain I can get a full scholarship from our ministry of Education, but I am sure my application will be among the worst seeing everybody's achievements here. Please take a look and tell me if I have the slightest chance of getting accepted. Thanks!
