Transcript:
Faculty evaluate applicants’ aptitude for courses in economic and quantitative analysis. Within the Graduate School’s electronic application you will be asked only for unofficial copies of degree transcripts to be uploaded, but WWS requires ALL transcripts from any institution you have attended.You can upload additional transcripts in the Additional Education section of the application. Study-abroad transcripts also are required unless the courses and grades are listed on your undergraduate transcript.
Curriculum Vitae:
Your résumé should be one to two pages and provide a list of your employment activities, community service, education, academic and professional honors. A brief annotation of job responsibilities, leadership and awards is helpful.
Personal Statement:
Your personal statement should showcase your strengths and provide an overview of your background, goals, academic and professional aspirations and commitment to public service. The personal statement should be approximately two to four pages, double-spaced. If you wish to address any weaknesses in your application, it is usually better to write a separate, succinct, fact-based explanation as an addendum.
Recommendation Letter:
The electronic application asks for three academic letters of recommendation. However, while one should be from a professor or professional who can comment on your ability to contribute to a rigorous academic program, the two remaining references should come from individuals who have supervised your work in a professional capacity and can comment on your commitment to public service. Reference writers may need to be educated about the MPP degree program and should comment on its suitability for career development. Be sure that the writers understand your reasons for applying to the Woodrow Wilson School, as well as your goals and strengths.
Supplemental essay:
Beyond your other application requirements, we want to get to know you on a more personal and individual basis. We would like you to answer the question, "What do you like best and least about where and how you grew up?" Your answer should be concise, 200-300 words, double spaced.
Policy memo:
The ability to write succinct and impactful policy memos will prove useful in both academic and career settings. For the purposes of this memo, the admissions committee is less concerned about format and more interested in your professional experiences, your critical analysis of the issues, and your ability to write cogently and clearly. Choose a topic to demonstrate your knowledge of an area related to your field of concentration and your professional and personal interests. Specific topics create better opportunities to demonstrate analytical skills and analysis than broader ones. The memo should be approximately four double-spaced pages and should identify a problem in domestic or international affairs, discuss the complexity of it, and propose policy recommendations.
