Graduate Programs in Urban Planning?

<p>I aspire to work in Cuba as an urban planner after communism falls ( fingers crossed hahaha) but I'm not sure what schools to consider for graduate school. I'm enrolling at the University of Alabama this fall, where I hope to study economics. I know Harvard, Columbia, MIT, and the like all have fantastic programs, but I'm wondering if anyone has actual information on their admissions statistics, like avg GRE scores, acceptance rates, etc. Thanks</p>

<p>As in the case with most professional programs, GPA and GREs are not quite as important as experience and purpose. Of course, a solid GPA (over 3.5 in most cases) and GRE (over 2000) are generally expected.</p>
