3.76/161 URM Interested in JD/MPP or MPA
Posted: Sun May 15, 2011 9:48 pm
I attend a Tier 3 University and have a GPA of 3.76 and 161 LSAT. I would love to do a joint JD/MPP or MPA program. I have a cruddy part-time job at the luxurious Taco Bell and my softs are, so-so. I interned for a congressman, participate in my school's honors program, hope to be inducted into Phi Beta Kappa, and I will attend McGill University this summer for a session and take a class in Econometrics and an International Relations course, and at my school, I am the VP of our Black Student Union. I am a double major, Political Science and Economics. The school that I really would like to attend is Washington and Lee University School of Law. For an MPP, my favorite schools are UVA, Johns Hopkins, Tufts, and Brandeis.
My GRE Scores were:
620 V
690 Q
4 Writing (Yeah, I sucked)
Here is my composite list of schools:
Public Policy Schools without Law Schools
Brown
Tufts
Brandeis
Johns Hopkins
*Virginia
Carnegie Mellon
Virginia Tech
Princeton
*University of Virginia has a law school, but its public policy program is unranked.
Law Schools without Public Policy Schools
Washington and Lee
Notre Dame
Wake Forest
Northwestern
Case Western Reserve
*Washington University in Saint Louis
Boston University
Boston College
Emory
Fordham
University of California (Hastings)
Cincinnati
Temple
*WUSTL doesn’t have an MPA/MPP Program, but has an A.M. in Political Economy and Public Policy.
*Schools in BOLD are schools that I am interested in, and would want to apply to.
Do any of you have experience in JD/MPP programs, taking the dual degree at two different schools?
