your GRE stat, especially your verbal will definitiv make up for your low GPA. No one can guarantee you a spot but I would definitiv give it a try.

Course requirements for the one year program and the 16 months program are identical. In fact, both are three “semester” programs since for the one year program, you are completing your first semester in the summer. The only thing you are missing out is the required summer internship for the 16 months program. However, since you are planning to go into docorate anyway, I guess the internship isn’t that important.

FYI the above poster mentioned no financial aid. That’s incorrect. I’m in MSISPM which is closely related to MISM (same school and even same program director). Got half fare (pure scholarship, no TA requirement). I know at least one MISM student that got scholarship too.
I have a feeling they are handing out a lot more money (including full fare) for the public policy students but there are fundings on the ISM side too.
