  1. I would say it really depends on your goals, skills and interests. There are people going to each sector after graduation i.e. I will be going to top management consulting.
  2. SIPA is great both for energy and environmental policy
  3. You can change your concentration easily. You just need to take all of the required courses (5).
  4. I think that with your amount of WE you are a better candidate for regular MPA, not EMPA
  5. I applied straight from undergrad and got offers from SAIS, SIPA and GPPI (with $). I did not apply for Tufts but my friend from SIPA got rejection letter from Tufts saying explicitly "you have too little work experience".
  6. BTW Double Degree program works as a direct exchange of students i.e. 3 people from Hertie went to SIPA because 3 people from SIPA went to Hertie
  7. My friend from SIPA did his 1st year at Hertie and he liked it really much. BTW only 3 people from Hertie went for 2nd to SIPA
  8. 1. I would say that the most of the professors are working in their field 2. Even split 3. Actually, it is specialization where you can take almost every class you want (also at B-School) So it is really flexible 4. Hard question. The three I would recommend: Energy System Fundamentals (a core course for energy, really demanding but you can learn a lot) & Global Financial Services (a class with retired I-Banker who gives awesome insights what was really happening inside biggest banks). On top of that I took also Consulting at B-School which was awesome.
  9. gradjm - I have already described my background. At SIPA there is no MPP, only MPA. I haven't been to HKS so far so I have no idea. The only thing I can say that SIPA has most probably more international focus (and 58% of our students and international).
  10. 1.No, and as I see people do not generally work during first semester 2. Wow that's hard. I would say sipa is about diversity. We have folks who were working in government, united nations, mckinsey and ones who are straight from undergrad. 3. Most probably management consulting 4. Manageable but I had strong background in finance and econ which is really helpful for me
  11. No, I did not have such an essay question.
  12. 1. I would say that there is no real difference (one course is different but still pretty similar and the language requirement can be waived). What is more, you can change your major when 1st semester starts 2. SIPA has amazing energy program plus you can take courses at business school, law school, school of engineering and all of them are excellent. 3. I have quite unique profile so I will not be good benchmark 168Q/155V, around two years of work experience (management consulting, diplomacy, banking) while studying. 4. I have no idea about this concentration. 5. That some people on this forum say that it is not great
  13. Hi guys! If you have any question regarding studying at SIPA please feel free to ask
