SAIS Bologna

I remember you too. I'm assuming you've said yes to SIPA?

Are the pre-term economics courses easier than taking the same ones during the actual term? I know that there are no grades, but rather pass, high pass, etc. Besides getting into more advanced economics courses, what are the advantages of taking these courses in the pre-term?
-
Just wondering - is it difficult for students who come after the preterm to adjust if many friendships are formed ahead of time? I am not sure I would be able to afford the preterm on top of the rest of the cost. I have all of my economics courses, but if I went, I would probably brush up on mu college Italian. Any thoughts on this?

Yeah I didn't get to go to the whole day because I was stuck at work, but I caught the end of the last lecture and the reception on the roof. I tried to use the reception to catch up on what I missed and talk to alums/current students. When I asked one alum, a State Dept employee now, why he chose GWU . . . his response was: "it was convenient for me" and "Georgetown was too far" I know it's an good program and has some impressive graduates, but I didn't feel at home there. I felt like it might be a good fit for others, but not for me. @WinterSolstice - Any other insight from the open house? I hear the alumni panel was half current students

Struggling with the same decision as well. I was first torn between SAIS, MSFS and GWU, due to funding from GWU, but after the open house reception, I felt like GWU wasn't the right fit for me. Hard to turn down funds...but it is what it is Does anyone have an idea of how realistic it may be to get a fellowship from MSFS? They said I am on the waiting list, but didn't tell me where I am on it. . . just what the fellowship $ range would be. I guess I have to wait till after April 20, when others turn them down. As for SAIS, I got no $ but I am hoping for something in the second year. It's a tough choice, as SAIS has always been my dream program . . . but I hate the idea of the debt and have always managed to steer clear of it.
