You are missing the Yale IDE,thats also an International Development program like the SAIS M.A

Are you sure you have been accepted by the MPP at HKS? are their decisions out? they told me decisions will be available in March. I wonder how you have yours in February

You should be too strong to be rejected by any of your programs

Don't you have any econ class? if you do, I wonder why you should not get at least 4 of the programs

None of the programs will reject you....congrats in advance

Why does it appear like I am already in the MPA/ID program?

Your internship experience in fantastic...don't worry about the GRE at all, you will be fine

You are welcome and I can assure that you can achieve your HKS dreams if you get just two years of work experience since you already have the econ.

Hi , I think we should be truthful to people and tell them some facts even though we are not the final decision makers. I spoke with Princeton and the HKS admissions office several times anonymously.Each time, they told me they reject more people with perfect scores due to other things. GRE is the last thing adcom considers.The guy has good GRE scores but he has not shown any interest in Economics, Statistics and Mathematics.He is very weak in these areas. GRE quant of 770 can not be substituted for econometrics, statistics and mathematics which are essential to the MPP and MPA programs.He doesnt have them. Secondly, you all agree with me that work experience has more weight than GRE. Don't deceive the guy, advice him to go for work experience plus some econ classes. Dont just tell him he has a chance because he has 770 qant GRE.I am sorry to say that but trust me an applicant with a 720 GRE quant score and a bachelor's degree in economics plus 2years working esperience is stronger than the accounting degree with 770 and no work experience.Go and check princeton's admitted students online, you will be shocked to see admitted students with GRE quant score of 500 cus they have Work experience. For your information, a 3.3 GPA in Econ is stronger to MPA adcom than a 3.8 GPA in accounting I am sorry... the truth hurts.

which schools did you apply to? we are here

Do not worry a bit, that is a sign of acceptance into the MPA2 program. I think you should start partying.
