Does anyone know of a forum like this for Government Affairs? http://gulc.lawschoolnumbers.com/stats A place where people post their acceptances/rejections alongside their GPAs/GREs and it's charted?

I haven't heard of one but I'd be very curious. We could try to start a google document here if enough people were interested in sharing. Unfortunately, I don't think it would be as useful as law school or medical school. MPP programs, it seems, are a lot less selective (with maybe a handful of exceptions) than law and business schools. They also seem to rely on the statement of purpose, work/extracurricular experiences and recommendations a lot more heavily.

That is, for any of the top 20 or whatever law schools, or similar number of med schools I imagine you'd be able to define the "bar" (shown on that chart as the diagonal line of yellow dots) where you suddenly go from a highly likely admit to a virtually impossible to admit. For MPP (and MBA programs also), I'd be surprised if that bar was as clear cut.

But maybe it is. I suppose that's why we collect data.

Well that's what the 'results search' on this site should be. I've thought that they've been missing the boat on this for a while. (I'm also applying to law school in addition to MPP/MPA, so I've spent plenty of time on lawschoolnumbers.com).

nope, but a google form asking the same questions as some of the decisions threads here would be very very interesting...
