  1. Any ideas?! SAIS or Oxford is the big dilemma... Ox + reapply to WWS/HKS? or SAIS? Do you know anybody who did the Joint Degree MA/JD with SLS (Stanford Law School)? Sounds amazing and relevant to my career goals. Anyone going to the SAIS Bologna Open Day this Thursday?
  2. Hi there! Need advice! I have been admitted to (a) the SAIS Bologna Centre (International Development concentration) with 10k Euros (plus a scholarship from my country which will basically cover the tuition fully). ( Oxford - MSc in Forced Migration at the Queen Elizabeth House/Department of International Development. I'm very optimistic about getting some funding, although I have to wait until May. I'm into refugee and human rights law, asylum policy and have relevant work experience (UNHCR). © LSE - MPA in Public and Economic Policy. I am not thrilled about this programme and they didn't give a pence... but the second year could be in NYC at SIPA. I'm basically between SAIS and Oxford. I was thinking doing the nine-month long Oxford MSc and deferring SAIS for next year. Would that make sense? I was rejected by HKS and WWS - do you think that it's worth reapplying next year and just drop SAIS. The only problem with SAIS is that - for a European - it's not as recogniseable as Oxford or the ivies are. I think it'd be more in place at the UNDP rather than at the WB or the IMF... Help! thanks a lot!

  4. It's not true that Cambridge is better than Oxford ... It really depends what you want to study; even within a specific discipline there are notable differences (i.e. take Philosophy: Cambridge is great for Wittgenstein and Oxford is amazing for Legal Philosophy/Jurisprudence). For politics, ir and social sciences in general Oxford has a better reputation overall. On the other hand, natural sciences and maths Cambridge is ahead. Plus, an Oxbridge education is something unique that you cannot live anywhere else in the world. You just have to visit sometime and find on your own whether it's for you.
