Scholarship GRE and GPA Criteria

[lottesnk]

Does anyone know what are typical criteria for receiving scholarship financial aid? What do you believe is the median GRE and GPA? What is the cut-off? Schools I'm considering include the Ford School, University of Maryland MPP, U Wisconsin, and possibly Duke Sanford.

Thanks!

Josephine, may I suggest that you contact the admissions office of each school to get an answer to your question. Each school will be in a better position to offer an advice regarding financial aid in my view. However, if I were to make a personal suggestion, I don't think you should allow your GPA to be a hinderance from getting good aid from these schools. There are a lot of criteria to consider when these schools pick their students including who gets financial aid: recommendations, SOP, resume, work experience, etc. So GPA is not the only thing that is important! Good luck with your applications.
