Helpful blogs during admissions season

[saranyc234]

Hello - 

I have been looking online for blogs or other sites that would be helpful during the admissions cycle. I wanted to see if anyone had a blog they referred to while they were pulling together their application that was helpful. I found a few generic grad school admission blogs, but something specific to MPP/MPA would be great

Schools actually have really helpful blogs, especially around what they're looking for in your materials (personal statement, resume). I looked at the blogs of schools I didn't even apply to. HKS, SIPA, WWS all have admissions blogs. You can look at their archives too.

Prof Chris Blattman at SIPA has a well written blog from a professor's perspective. Some schools have a student blog section.

Both SAIS DC and SAIS Bologna have good blogs.  DC's is more nuts and bolts about admission while Bologna's has a lot of info regarding what is happening on campus and what students have done.
