  2. Hello people, I plan to take up the MPA ID considering my interest in international affairs.However, i am a little anxious considering that i have been working in the private sector as a Business consultant for the past 5 years post my MBA. My profile snapshot is as below: Educational qualitfication (from India): Bachelor of engineering, MBA Professional qualification (Pre MBA) : 2 years as a trainer Professional qualification (Post MBA) : 5 years in Management consulting Social welfare work involved in : As a Freemason i have been involved with a lot of charitable projects as a volunteer for the past 6 years viz. old age homes, pediatric cancer patients cell, mid day meals schemes etc Interests : Golf, international affairs I have been able to shortlist only 2 universities so far being HKS-Midcareer professionals MPA and LSE - MPA ID. Is GMAT / GRE an absolute must for the MPA courses?Also, since i do not have a full-time background on the social side as most of you have (my undergrad was in engineering) do you think my chances will be one in a million chances of getting in? The only social cause work i have been able to do is as a volunteer considering my Freemasonry background past 6 years.Should i understand right, i need to have my SOPs and the references ready and sent by December which does not leave me with much time left at all. Another honest question is , my quant & economics is pretty weak, do you think it might be very difficult for me to cope up with the course study? And finally, can you advise me some universities i can look at where GMAT/GRE is not mandatory? Sincerely urge you to help me out with this Warm regards, Axay
