I recently received admissions offers from two really great MA Programs, One being the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs (NPSIA) at Carleton University in Ottawa (largely considered the best program in Canada), and the other being Johns Hopkins SAIS (with a year in Bologna and a year in Washington). At either, I'm looking to specialize in their variation of the international organizations / law stream. Does anyone have any opinions on whether the American schools like Johns Hopkins are worth the higher costs in terms of the overall reputation of the program upon graduation. There's quite a cost difference between the $40,000 + in tuition per year without any funding at SAIS and a funding offer at NPSIA that would cover tuition and then some, and I'm trying to weigh this against the future career opportunities that SAIS would allow me. I know that NPSIA has a great reputation here in Canada, but am wondering how it stacks up internationally?

Got the email as well, definitely some good news to wake up to! Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear back

Hi all! In the same "recommended for assessment" boat as most everyone here. Hoping to hear back shortly, and before the deadline to respond to acceptances from UofT and UOttawa, as NPSIA is by far one of my top choices! Best of luck to everyone
