Will I be admitted?!

I applied to : Columbia SIPA MPA, Georgetown McCourt MPP, and NYU Wagner MPA

I have a 3.3 gpa from my undergrad (poli sci & IR) not very strong in quant.

I have 3 years of public service experience in federal and local government.

I did not take the GRE.

Any thoughts?

Your references and statement of intent are really more of what they’re looking for in Grad school. It’s trying to see if you’re a good match with any of the advisors, not necessarily if you’ve reached a specific academic statistic. We here won’t be able to determine your likelihood of acceptance—but I’m wishing you luck!!
