I need to start making some decisions about where to do my Masters in either public policy or public affairs / administration. I'm from New Zealand and don't know the US system that well, or the reputation of the various schools.
The dilemma I'm in now is that I've been offered a full scholarship from the University of Singapore for their MPP, and offers from the London School of Economics, and the Maxwell MPA at Syracuse. I haven't had a funding decision yet from Maxwell or LSE, and I'm still waiting for decisions from Oxford university (have been interviewed) and Toronto.
Singapore need me to make a decision now, so I'm trying to decide if I'm better off to go to Maxwell even if I don't get funding. Any advice appreciated!
