Pardee RAND Graduate School

[meatloaf]

Hi Everyone. I haven't been able to find much on people applying to the phd program in public policy at Pardee RAND. I see from their site that the average GRE scores for admitted students are mid-600s for verbal and mid-700s for math, but does anyone have any other data on admitted students (like typical work/research experience, number of people with advanced degrees,etc)?

Also, is anyone familiar with the program or the research coming out of RAND? What is it known for (besides being quantitative in nature) and what is it not good at? What is the student satisfaction with the program? Any info/perspectives would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

also, I'm new to the site...should this be posted in another forum?

meatloaf--

The RAND website has a lot of information that will answer many (if not most) of your questions if you have the patience to do the digging.

For example, a statistical breakdown of the PRGS student body and capsule biographies of students by cohort is available here. Elsewhere, you'll find contact information for members of the PRGS community who help graduates get jobs. You'll also find PRGS dissertations, student testimonials, the archive of the PRGS alumni newsletter, and other information. (I'll leave it to you to find these resources.)

HTH.
