Thanks for the responses. I’m currently looking at a couple of different majors at these schools (Public Policy Studies @ Duke, Urban Studies @ WashU, and Policy Analysis (w/ Stats) @ Rice). What would be the best way to learn more about the departments? The latter two have pretty small departments, from what I can tell, and I’d like to talk to either an upperclassman or a professor there about size of department, opportunities, graduating on time, etc. Should I go through the admissions office? Email a professor directly?
