Therefore, it is recommended that students who are interested in applying for MPA/MPP take the GRE, and those institutions that want to sprint to the top 50 should try their best to get GRE 1200 or above.
Because it is a pure liberal arts major, MPA/MPP has very high requirements for writing. In the top 30 universities, the average score of applicants' writing has reached above 4.8. For example, in Austin, Texas, the average GRE score in the first two years was 589,662 and 5.4. Duke University has the highest requirement for G, with GRE language 650, Q724 and A5.4.
Regarding the TOEFL test, Duke University requires IBT 1 15 or above, while Georgetown University requires a relatively low IBT score of 80 or above. Madison, Wisconsin requires a TOEFL score of 92 or above to apply, and different schools have different requirements.
All public affairs management institutions in the United States, without exception, put forward high requirements for students' writing level and language ability. Students' GRE writing scores should not be lower than 5.2, and PS and essay should reach at least three and at most five, so students' language organization ability and logical analysis ability are challenged.
