Is there a min. GRE score?

Olivia Whelan, thanks for the option to ask. On the Harvard Admissions Blog Many of the advisor's application reviews are on the MC/MPA, MPA2 and the MPP. I am wondering if there could be one or two reviews done on an MPA/ID application to give similar guidance like the others are.

Will the slides be shared post this webinar as well?

Would you recommend taking the GRE or the GMAT?

Do we have to finish Intermediary Micro/Macro/Econometric study before application?

The application asks for students who have had professional experience in the past. Approximately how many years of professional experience do you recommend?

Hi Rachel.I wanted to know If calculus courses are a pre-requisite. Is it ok If i take a certificate before the course starts.

Hi loise from kenya

In 2015 I applied for the MPP Program at HKS, now I made a career detour to international development and now want to apply to MPA -ID. Will this be considered reapplication ?

What are some recommendations that you have for those who had strong grades in economics but not in mathematics (or vice versa) while in university?

Hi, Keru from Kenya. One of the the challenges that Africa esp. Kenya is water issues. Does the program tackle water issues? Or how transferable is the knowledge acquired to water?

Also, hi I'm Vero from USA/Ghana! :)

On the practicality / academic trade-off : How practical do the economic skills you've learned feel?

I have 6 years of wok ex. and age around 31.Am i too old for mpa-id?

And another quick question: Is the difficulty of the learning program feel like it's due to being conceptually challenging or just overload of work? (The former would be much more fun)
