KSG Admits: What are your stats?

[BRAUN223]

For all of you who have attended/are attending/or have been accepted, what were your stats? (GPA, GRE, UG, ECs, etc)

I'll be attending KSG this fall (MPP program). My stats were: 3.5 GPA in Econ (Ivy), GRE: 760 quantitative, 650 verbal, 5.5 analytical writing (taken only once). I was involved in the leadership of some political groups in college. As for work experience, I had one summer internship abroad in my junior year and only one year of work experience when I applied. My work experience however is a quant-heavy econ research position that probably compensated for the short duration.

Just to give you an idea of where this gets you.... I applied both to Harvard KSG and Princeton WWS and was rejected by Princeton. They post their GRE stats here: http://www.princeton.edu/pr/facts/profile/07/graduate/ As you can see, the GRE averages of WWS acceptees aren't super-high, but I think the ad com there cares a lot about having lots of work experience and demonstrating substantial evidence of public leadership. At KSG you can probably get away with having less work experience... I know one person from my school who went directly to KSG from undergrad, but he had a really strong GPA.
