Hi Meeravai,
Nice to meet you. I haven't heard back from Oxford yet. What is your profile, if I may ask?

I completed my undergraduate degree 6 years ago and have been working in the public sector since then. Went to a goodish school, studied urban design, and graduated with a first class.

My hope is that they rank leadership and commitment to public service over academic excellence. I'm not too sure on that part.

What about you?

I graduated in 2014. I am currently working in the office of a Union Cabinet Minister. I have a background in Social Startup, Management Consulting and Public Policy. I hope professional experience is given credence over academic excellence. In any case, all the very best! :smile:

Hello everyone! I'm planning to apply to the MPP next year or in 2020. A little bit on my profile: 25 y.o., EU student, With a BA in communications from an Italian university and a MSc in Comparative Politics from the LSE, in the past 1.5-2 years I have been completing multiple internships in the UN and the EU institutions, including on the field in post-conflict countries. I woudl like to ask: what is the general profile of people who apply to the MPP? I see online that many candidates have substantial work experience. I also don't plan to submit any GRE scores, would that disadvantage me in any ways? I would need funding for sure (at least half of the tuition and living costs). If you could share your experiences I would appreciate that. Thanks!

Hi there, well I was accepted but did not take the place... 1) regarding profiles take a look a the class profiles of the MPP Oxford web page, I´ll give a pretty look of what are they looking for. 2) I did not submit any GRE records and got both admission and funding... hope this helps you a bit... if you want to send me a DM may be a can give you some advice...
regards...
