  1. Really need advice on making a decision between SAIS DC (IDV), Cornell MPA, Sciences PO (international public management) or The Graduate Institute of Geneva. I know SAIS probably seems the optimal choice here, but I'm really leaning towards Sciences Po. I don't speak french but the program is in english and it would be a great opportunity to learn french. On the other hand, Cornell has the whole Ivy League thing and IHEID is in Geneva, whee a lot of headquarter of major international organizations are located. Does anyone have any advice? Which program is better and does the school ranking really matter that much? I'd really appreciate some comments. Thanks!!!
  2. you know sometimes a program requires you to write your SOP within a ridiculously short word limit. So I was wondering, say they require you so keep it in 600 words, does that literally mean your SOP has to be less than 600? or is it alright if it's a little longer, like 620? I know it's a stupid question, but it's driving me crazy. Thanks!
  3. I know you're supposed to ask LORs from professors who have taught you or had direct academic contact with you. But I was wondering if it is OK if one out of the three LORs, one of them is from someone who doesn't write about you from an academic or professional perspective. Let's just say I have a family friend who is also a well known professor from a prestigious university related to the field I'm applying to (MPP), he's known me since I was a kid but has never taught me so wouldn't be able to write about my academic performance and stuff. I need advice from you guys please, is it necessary to ask him for a recommendation or should I just ask another professor who has taught me but doesn't know me too well and isn't as well known as him? Thanks!
