  1. Was reading through the threads earlier and noticed that there were some fellow journalists who applied to MPP programs. I'm wondering if there are still some people around to see how their transition went. Did you guys have any trouble with admissions considering journalism is not directly policy-related?
  2. Thanks a lot for the reply and you touched a bit on my reservations for some of these programs. I'm worried that since they're boutique programs the job prospects won't be as good if one graduates from a more recognized school in the field. I was thinking the brand name would offset that, but it doesn't look the case based on what you said. Would be interested in hearing some more thoughts from people who went to these schools though. Thanks though!
  3. Hi everybody, I know there's been a lot of talk about the top schools (SIPA, Maxwell, Harris, etc,) but I was wondering if anybody could comment on MPP / MPA programs at some of the lesser known programs at reputable schools. I was curious to see if these programs are well-regarded in the public policy world, especially in regards to salary and employment prospects. Northwestern's public policy and administration program is through their School of Continuing Studies. I'm wondering if that hampers the degree's reputation or job prospects, although NU says on their Website the rigor and quality is the same. Is there anybody here who has applied, enrolled or is an alumnus of the program? Or would it just be better off to apply to the more established MPP institutions? Thanks!
