Does anyone know if public policy & political science results for UMich (Ann Arbor) will come out at the same time as political science results? (My experience is that in some schools the joint programs are always evaluated by the poli sci dept and in others there's a mixed committee). Given that the public policy & econ results all came out with the econ results I suspect PP & poli sci should come out with poli sci... -
I've been wanting to work on my quantitative skills anyway, so I'm already revising math on evenings just in case. We did differential and integral calculus in high school and I adored math, but it's been a while! I've had stats and R classes at uni, but I feel like the program at Rand might speed up fast! What do you think is most useful to revisit or work on quants-wise to prepare?

I agree I like the Rand program particularly because of the possibility to start working immediately (I've been working for a while now during my studies and I like the hands-on approach). I'd also really like to improve my grip on quantitative methods and I feel like Rand really allows us to do that. Plus I'm a first-gen student, so the idea of being able to work overtime for a few extra dollars I can put towards paying off my (modest but still!) MPP student debt is quite appealing!

Anyone else waiting on results for Public Policy PhD programs (or equivalents such as policy analysis or government), regardless of which university? There was a person commenting they had gotten an interview invite for Duke recently - do you know if all prospective admitted students get one? Cheers

Hi peeps, Anybody else waiting on the decision for the Rand program next month? I'd be keen to chat to calm the nerves but also in case some of us are admitted (it's always nice feeling like you already know a few faces when starting a program) Cheers
