Program Applied To: MAIR Schools Applied To: Fletcher and Korbel Schools Admitted To: Fletcher (20k/year), Korbel (Peace Corps Fellowship equivalent to roughly 20k) Schools Rejected From: none Decision: Fletcher! Undergraduate institution: Top 15 liberal arts Undergraduate GPA: 3.27 Undergraduate Major: Economics GRE Quantitative Score: 780 GRE Verbal Score: 720 GRE AW Score: 4 Years Out of Undergrad (if applicable): 4 Years of Work Experience: 4 not including summer internships Describe Relevant Work Experience: Currently a Peace Corps volunteer in West Africa, before Peace Corps worked as a financial analyst. Strength of SOP (be honest, describe the process, etc): I think that my SOP was very good and made all of the difference in being accepted to Fletcher with a scholarship. I wrote about 6 drafts and slowly honed it to focus on how my experiences have shaped where I want to go with my career and how each school could help me get there. Strength of LOR (be honest, describe the process, etc): I never got to read them but I assume they were alright because I got in! One was from my undergrad major advisor, one from my previous boss in finance and one from Peace Corps Honestly I did not think I had much of a shot at Fletcher because of my mediocre GPA so I was thrilled to be accepted with some money on top of it. Congratulations to everyone who is done with the process and good luck to those of you who are just starting it.

I have never been inside the tufts gym and i am pretty sure that fletcher shares one with the rest of campus. They have really nice fields and tennis courts and the school is fairly well off so i don't think there is anything to worry about.

I heard from them today. Got into the gftei with peace corps fellows. Good luck to everyone who is still waiting, you should be hearing soon.

I saw on another thread that some people had received personal emails from admissions telling them to be patient. Anyone else get one of these? Ps good luck everyone!
