I took the GRE, 710 V, 800 Q 4.5 AW. I have very little actual math coursework besides a general Intl Econ course. Applying to Woodrow Wilson, Goldman, Sanford for sure, still thinking about "fall back" schools. Want to do Public Policy/Affairs.

I speak Mandarin, Korean and Spanish, lived abroad in Korea and China, and have taught for 4 years (including as an adjunct professor), volunteered for about 1. I was a contestant on College Jeopardy too, if that counts for anything.

Since I have a good Q on the GRE, will I have a shot at these schools even though I lack stats? I will of course take stats if I get accepted, next summer.

As far as fall backs, I have been considering UCSD Pacific Rim Studies for a "fall back", even though I hear it's incredibly competitive. I dont' mind it's IR because of the heavy quant emphasis and I lived in China and Korea.

Can anyone recommend "fall back" MPP programs? I'm thinking LBJ, UWashington and maybe UIC (I'm from Chicago).

If anyone has suggestions or advice, I would appreciate it.
