  1. Thanks for your advice! I'll definitely search now. I just signed up for this, so I'm still figuring the site out. Thanks!!
  2. Hello everyone, I am currently applying to public administration programs (NYU, UW, American, George Washington). I'm a little behind with my applications and know I need to start contacting professors. I think I have just been putting it off because I'm not sure what to say and am a little intimidated. Any advice on what to say in an email to professors? Anything that has worked particularly well for any of you? This is what I have so far for one professor: Dear Professor XXX, My name is XXX and I graduated from the University of XXX in 2008 with a B.A. in International Studies. I am applying to Wagner to pursue a master’s degree in public administration with a focus on nonprofit management. My primary research interest is in refugee and immigrant education. I did research for my senior thesis on the education of working children in Ecuador and I currently work with a nonprofit organization providing academic support to low-income immigrant and refugee children. I am currently interested in researching the impact on changes in demographics in public schools and how nonprofit organizations are responding. I found your research on education policy and the education of immigrant children especially intriguing and in line with my own research interests. I am very interested in hearing what your current research projects are and if there would be a possibility of studying under you next year. Thank you for your time. I’ve attached my resume in case you would like more information. I hope to hear from you soon. -XXX

GPA: 3.86 Undergrad Major: International Studies GRE: V: 630 Q: 720 Experience: 2 years working in refugee and immigrant education-focused nonprofits I just keep working and working on Wagner's application and there's still so much more to do. Any of you choosing to write the optional Visual Explorer essay? What are your takes on it?
