If you\u2019ve already gotten a sense that a <\/span>Master of Public Policy (MPP) program might be right for you<\/span><\/a> and you\u2019d like to start preparing for the application process, it\u2019s time to ask yourself three essential questions:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. How do you want to serve?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Lots of students apply to policy programs because they have a general sense that they\u2019d like to contribute in the public sphere. This is a great motivation, of course, but it\u2019s usually not specific enough.<\/span><\/p>\n

Successful applicants generally know something about the kinds of roles they\u2019d like to fill\u2014and the kinds of roles they\u2019re well suited for. When you think about the public sphere, where can you imagine yourself most easily: as an elected official? A policy advisor? A nonprofit executive? A for-profit consultant working with public sector clients? An activist? (If you\u2019ve never thought about these questions, that\u2019s okay. <\/span>This brainstorming exercise<\/span><\/a> can help!)<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Which issues do you care about most?<\/span><\/h3>\n

There are a thousand important issues in the public sphere, and it\u2019s easy to get engrossed in lots of them. However, by the time you apply to graduate school, you need to have a reasonably clear (if not final) focus on the issues (or regions of the world) you care about most. This focus typically grows out of your professional experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes, going to grad school means delving deeper into issues you are already working on. Other times, it means changing course and pursuing the path you are meant to be on. In either case, though, putting together a successful application means speaking clearly about what you care about, what you hope to accomplish, and why.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. What kinds of learning environments suit you best?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Too many students get wide-eyed at the prospect of attending a prestigious university and overlook the basic questions about which schools are best for them. Don\u2019t make that mistake. Instead, ask: Big school or small? International environment or more domestic focus? Intimate talks with accessible professors or drive-by conversations with globe-trotting policy advisers?<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve sorted through these questions, you\u2019re ready to embark on your application. As you do, remember one last thing: be real! See our \u201c<\/span>Five Ways to Be a Compelling MPP Candidate<\/span><\/a>\u201d blog post for guidance.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re unsure whether an MPP program is right for you, schedule a <\/span>FREE consultation<\/span><\/a> with one of our Admissions Counselors. At Stratus, our team is ready to dive into your goals and help you boost your appeal to admissions committees!<\/span><\/p>\n
