Im sorry I can't help answer your question, but I have a question of my own for you. 1420 in GRE is a pretty high score, can you give me some tips on preparing for it. My math is pretty strong, but I need help with others. Especially the vocabulary portion, how did you go about preparing for it??

I'm no expert, but I think it would be helpful for people to know the breakdown of your verbal/quantitative scores.

verbal 94%

quant 87%

analytical 5.0

Your GRE is only a small part of your application...what will determine if you get into schools are your essays and reasons for wanting to study, work experience and recommendations...speaking of which, how are your recommenders feeling about having to write them for a variety of different programs (i.e. they can't submit the same one to each school) - the public affairs application seems slightly out of the blue compared to the others?
