where should I apply-edu policy?

Hello. I am a current teacher (TFA) and am going to be applying to MPP programs in the next couple of months (to begin in Fall of 2010). I have an interest in domestic policy, specifically education policy. Which schools are the best for studying this?

Also, how much do GRE scores matter for top schools? I haven't taken them yet, but I've heard from former applicants that they do not matter so much.

I'm not an education policy person, but as someone with ties to the school, I know that the Washington University in St. Louis has a great program for this. I'd give them a look!

Are you also looking at schools of Education such as Teacher's College? Some public policy schools with a Domestic and Education Policy I know of are University of Georgia, Carnegie Mellon, and Princeton.

Thanks for the advice. I'm looking to get an MPP but with a concentration in education or social policy. I also hope to get a job in the DC working for the federal gov't.
