MPA/MPP - Optional GRE?

[clementine]

Hi Everyone,

I have taken the GRE's, but my scores certaintly won't impress any admissions board. Does anyone know of any MPA/MPP programs that do not require submitting GRE scores? I have a fairly high GPA (around a 3.5) and am somewhat confident I can get into a program without such scores. I know some schools that do not require test scores include Wagner, SIPA, Northeastern and Baruch. I was looking to apply for Fall 08 programs and with the deadline approaching (before June 1st), I am in desperate need of advice!

Thanks!

is there any hope of taking them again? if you're applying in june you have plenty of time to prep and take them again.

also, i didn't even know there were deadlines that late.

Unfortunately, due to my work schedule, I do not have the same amount of time as I once did to dedicate myself to studying for the GRE's, which is why I am considering schools that do not require them. I believe wagner has a June 1st deadline.
