Hey MALD, I'm definitely getting pumped about Fletcher!
I was a little disappointed when I got my rejection e-mail yesterday from SIPA, but the more I look into it, the more I think Fletcher is a better fit for me.
The program seems demanding yet flexible, and attuned to students' ambitions.
I was also admitted to Harris (Chicago) but I'm deciding to go with Tufts because the program is much more international and they're offering me scholarship.
I'm trying to make up my mind on housing and I'm leaning towards the on-campus option. It's so cheap and convenient! Also, I'd get a real "college" experience (I've studied in France, so no campus).
I'm afraid it might get claustrophobic though. I mean living with the people you spend all your time with... What do you guys think?
