<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>have seen very helpful threads throughout site, but nothing recent on MPA/MPP chances. I would be grateful to anybody who could help me sort through this.</p>
<p>I have applied to the SIPA MPA, SAIS MA (Idev), Fletcher MALD, and LSE MPA. Low writing score on GRE and a couple of poor grades (1 C+ in multivariable and 1 C+ in statistics) have got me somewhat unsure.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.67/4.0 from top public school, major in Environmental Economics (3.86 major GPA)
GRE: 162 Q, 162 V, 4.0 A
Work Experience: 2 years full-time with international NGOs, based in agricultural development (1 year Bangladesh, 1 year East Africa)
During time at university, 1 year-long relevant internship with group that works with international financial institutions
some relevant extracurriculars, conversational in Bengali and French</p>
<p>Any ideas? Should I be expected to have more substantial work experience to be competitive? Considering taking on another year of full-time work experience before enrolling.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
