ROTC hopeful, MPP Programs

[Jufarius87]

Hello All,

 

          Long story short I am looking for advise on what schools I might be competitive for, as I have been able to find little information on average GPA/GRE scores for most schools.

 

A little about me:

 

Education

BA SUNY-Buffalo Philosophy/Math 3.74 MCL/PBK/With Thesis

MAR Yale Divinity School GPA uncalculated

 

GRE: took them 5+ years ago, got 540V/730Q without preparation. Hoping since Im studying right this time, and since Ive done my masters since then, that I will be able to make 1350-1400 this time around.

 

Work Experience

1 year as a high school teacher, 2 years enlisted Army at time of application serving as a Chaplain Assistant/Religious Support, aiming to be promoted to Sgt early at about the 18-20 month mark.

 

Personal Goals: Army now allows for ROTC to fund/train graduate students. Hoping to earn my commission and make a career of it in Military Intelligence.

 

In a sense I already have a big name attached to my academic background, however Divinity Admissions are different and frankly softer beast due to the nature of such programs. Just looking for advice on what I should consider as far as reaches and safeties are concerned. Would like to be either in the Northeast or DC.

Reaches

Harvard-Kennedy School

Princeton-Woodrow Wilson School

Columbia

Brown

 

Targets

Cornell

Georgetown

George Washington

Rutgers

 

Safeties

Syracuse

CUNY-John Jay College

 

Many Thanks.

Also I'll just go ahead and say my bad, did not see that we had an ongoing thread for evaluating applicants.
