Wow, congrats to both of you!! Those are some amazing offers. Hopefully they will send rest of the funding letters out tomorrow...glad to hear they are sending them by email and not snail mail, though!

Got accepted on Monday...congrats to those who have been accepted and good luck to everyone still waiting! Has anyone received the letter from LBJ yet containing the funding information?

Hi everyone, This is my first post to grad cafe and I really appreciate any help that you all can give regarding my options.... I am interested in eventually working in education policy research/analysis. My ideal work would be at a think tank, dept of ed, or a public policy organization where I can work to evaluate programs, do research on possible policies for the future, etc. I have been looking at MPA and MPP programs with a focus on education policy. However, I haven't seen that much of a difference between the two. Can anyone point out what some of the differences in these two degrees are? Which would be better suited to a research/analysis track? On the same lines....are there differences between schools in terms of the way they approach policy analysis? I would like to gain a strong quant/statistics foundation to build upon. Are there certain schools that are well known for Education Policy? I'm still pretty new to all this, so any input is greatly appreciated!
