  1. Anyone attend admitted students events today? Thoughts?
  2. Program Applied To (MPA, MPP, IR, etc.): University of Chicago Harris MPP, Georgetown McCourt MPP, GW MPP, HKS MPP, Princeton MPA, Brown MPA, Duke MPP, UT Austin LBJ MPAff, Michigan Ford MPP Schools Admitted To: Duke MPP ($17k + $4k RAship per year), Chicago (10k/year), Georgetown MPP ($27k/year), GW MPP (none), Brown MPA (waiting on $$), UT - Austin (50% tuition) Schools Rejected From: HKS, Princeton Still Waiting: Michigan Ford MPP (waitlisted) Undergraduate Institution: Top 25 US Undergraduate GPA: 3.85 Undergraduate Major: Political Science, Public Policy GRE Quantitative/Verbal/AW Scores: 164/165/5.5 Years Out of Undergrad (if applicable): 0 Years of Work Experience: 2 years research + relevant internships throughout college Describe Relevant Work Experience: internships with an NGO, political campaigns, and federal agency - all relevant to my career goals Strength of SOP (be honest, describe the process, etc): Good but not great. Definitely wrote them down to the wire for December deadlines, but the ones due in Jan had more time and edits. Described my (rather unique) area of interest and how the program fits my academic/career goals. Strength of LOR's (be honest, describe the process, etc): I assume strong, but waived my right to read them. One is from supervisor at federal agency, so I think that carried some weight. I am really torn right now between University of Chicago Harris and Duke Sanford… and if I get off Michigan Ford waitlist… will be extremely torn between all three. Anyone with insight on these three programs PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS! Thankfully money is not a deciding factor, but definitely a consideration. I really like the smaller cohort size at Duke, but it seems the Harris brand is a bit stronger and known for strong quant coursework (which I want). I don’t know exactly what I want to do, but I'm interested in social policy, technology policy, and crime. Most likely looking to work in federal government or potentially government consulting.
