UT Austin LBJ- MGPS

[PC-M]

I've been looking everywhere but I can't seem to find what the admit rate to UT LBJ is. Does anyone have an idea of what it may be? I want to apply to the Master in Global Policy Studies program they offer. I've gotten accepted to several other schools in the northeast and the west, but I have decided to defer for a year because of financial reasons.

I'm heading to LBJ for the MPAff program this fall. Although I can't say for sure what the acceptance rate for the MGPS program is, I can tell you that the folks I met who are entering the MGPS program were all very sharp and offered quite a bit of merit aid. It was quite apparent that as LBJ builds the MGPS program, they are using their coffers and out-of-state tuition waivers to attract top candidates in global policy. I met a guy who was offered a full scholarship + stipend and airfare for the open house. He was also accepted to SAIS & Fletcher with some merit aid. So If you've been admitted to other top policy programs, I would say you will be competative at LBJ for not just admission, but money too. Hope that helps at least a bit. Good luck.
