I went to the financial aid session at the admitted students day yesterday. The director spoke in detail about the 2nd year awards, and 70% of those students who apply usually get awards. It seems there are three types-- teaching assitantships, research/program assistants, and readers. TAs typically get 20k per semester, RA/PA positions get about 10.5k per semester, and I think readers get 6k per semester. The average award is 10.5k because there are many more RA positions available. Hope this helps!

Hey, thanks for starting this. Could you share some of your thoughts on how the admitted student's day went at GW? What was the sense you got of the career services/job prospects from current/former students? I'm going to be going to GPPI's open house on the 12th, but couldn't make this one.

What's the general impression of GPPI's career services? Are they pretty proactive in providing networking/interview opportunities? I'm seriously considering Georgetown and comparing it to Wagner (and maybe SIPA..). It seems so far that they might do a better job than Wagner, but I'm not sure!

Does anyone know when SIPA's admitted students day/open house will be?
