Notes
GRE optional. 3 strong LORs at least 2 of which were ~3 pages long. Strong Statement of Purpose and Personal History. Strong volunteer experience in the non-profit sector. No publications; straight out of undergrad. I think what made me stand out as a candidate was my consistency in both work and extracurricular environments -- all of them have consistently lined up with my personal values which provided good substance for my SOP and PH (my focus is educational policy). I also have a strong quantitative background doing a double major in Data Science and Political Science. I received $15k each for Y1 and Y2 and only applied to UC Berkeley.
