crossing my fingers

hey guys. congrats on your acceptance to THE Ohio State University. you're now officially a buckeye! I went there for undergrad and had a great time (class of '09). if you're interested in the food/social scene, i'd recommend bookmarking the following: cmhgournamd- food reviews in columbus columbusunderground- blog highlighting the local news, discussion board, reviews (has happy hour listings and CU get togethers) tacotruckscolumbus- there is a relatively big mexican community in columbus offering great tacos, tortas, burritos, agua fresca, horchata, etc. alt.eats.columbus- highlights non traditional columbus dining fair Also, the short north arts district (south of campus along high street- fun restaurants, art galleries, shops, bars) has a monthly gallery hop during the first saturday of the month. All the galleries and shops are open till 10. Explore Columbus has discounted tickets of all sorts for OSU students. My favorite Happy hour-ish specials. Marcella's has half off most food/drinks at the bar area from 4-6 M-F. really good sangria and pizzas Bodega- half off all beer (50+) on tap 4-8 M-F. Los Guachos- quite a trek to the SW side of Columbus but bogo spit roasted al pastor tacos on tuesdays (can be found on tacotruckscolumbus) Welcome again to OSU and Columbus!!!

I'm applying for a MIA. I don't have a lot of experience- finished undergrad last year and have spent the last year in an 'internship'. I'm hoping that a lot of international orgs (UN based, NGOs, etc) are more geared for international applications and thus the availability of jobs might be higher compared to private companies? i don't know. that's my hope anyways I applied mid march, so i'm still waiting to hear back. how long did it take for you to hear back from sciences po?

i've heard SIPA is more 'internationally' well known while sciences po may be more european. I'm applying to sciences po too and am hoping to work in europe for a few years after, then come back to the states. are you applying for MPA or MIA?
