I have six years in the private sector (finance). I am also an alumnus (B.B.A., 2003) FWIW.

I was admitted a few weeks ago. I'm graduating in May with my BA, so I have zero work experience. I do, however, have 6 relevant (government/law) internship experiences, including a semester interning in DC.

I got my acceptance today and I was in the Peace Corps for 2 years, and am working for a non-profit right now.

I was accepted a couple of weeks ago and I graduated last August. I've had a couple of good internships, but my work experience since graduation hasn't really been relevant to Public Policy.

I got in last year with 2.5 years. No financial aid.

I had no full-time work experience. 1 year of internships/coops, 1-2 years of part-time research and academic oriented jobs. All of which were not related to government, law, or public policy.
