Top MPA/MPP GRE scores

[ACArocks]

I have been searching around, but have not been able to find an accurate or consistent average for the average GRE scores for programs like HKS/Princeton. Does anyone who is familiar with these programs have insight into what score we should aim for? I have limited working experience, but some strong internship experiences.

 

Thanks!

Princeton's viewbook tells you what percentiles people are generally at: http://wws.princeton.edu/admissions/graduate-admissions-viewbook I'm sure Harvard has something similar if you look around more on their website. Generally, you want a 160 or above, the higher the better.

At a Harvard Kennedy info session, the admissions officer said generally they want 80th percentile or above.
