hey....see jacobs university..it's a private university in Germany which gives a lot of money to international students......it's programs are supposed to be very good and competetive Jacobs University Bremen. Welcome!

Can anyone suggest public policy schools with a focus on international development? I am not looking for top-notch schools like Ivys, but rather not-ivy ones and which accepts students directly from bachelors. And what do you say about GRE scores of 580 V; 770 M? Is the verbal score too low for medium range schools that I am looking for?

hey thanks for replying,.... i was just wondering what are good safety schools for pub policy (for social policy) in the US...

hey is it possible fror you to share your profile...like did you apply directly from bachelor's or you had a masters? GRE, grades internship etc....I was also looking into this prorgram in cornell and wanted to get a realistic picture

Hi Guys, I am a final year undergraduate student who wants to apply for PhD programs in public policy (NOT ECONOMICS) directly. Is that possible? I major in social sciences (don't focus on anything, but rather an interdisciplinary major). I have taken math courses like Linear Algebra and Single Variable Calculus. I have very decent grades and also did a research internship with the UN. I am looking for public policy programs which focus on development issues (even better with a focus on South Asia, but that's not necessary), mostly emphasizing the political/sociological dimensions than solely on economics (of course i know that Economics should be there for Pub Pol, and I am interested to study that as well....but i'm looking for programs with more focus on pol sci, sociology with a little bit of econ ) Can you guys help me come up with a list of schools? I checked the USnews rankings but most programs there (somehow) don't accept Phd students who haven't completed a master's degree. I was also thinking about safety schools in this regard.... I was also wondering if there are any MPP programs that give financial aid to international students.. Hope to hear from you guys soon...
