BUMP!

Hi, can I know what program you ultimately chose? I'm an International applicant as well and have an admit from Cornell CIPA for MPA and want to know what were the factors that made you arrive at a decision. Thanks.

Hi Chipembere, I see you are currently attending CIPA's MPA. I have got admitted for 2014 Fall and I want to know how you find the school and the classes as such? Would really appreciate some feedback.. Thanks

Hi, I'm an International applicant for the 2014 Fall MPA program. I would like to know what you ultimately chose and why? Asking because I have got into Cornell's MPA and I'm confused about the same thing. Go for Ivy league reputation or AU's SPA which has a better ranking and Washington DC location, but not much reputation in international countries.

Hi, I'm Shan, an International Applicant. I have admits for MPA, Masters in Public Administration from Cornell's CIPA, American University's School of Public Affairs. And waiting on Brown's decision. American University's SPA's MPA program seems to have a very good ranking in the usnews rankings (12th to be precise). In comparison, Cornell's program and Brown's are present much lower in the rankings. (37 and 53 respectively). But, obviously, there is the fact that these two are Ivy league whereas AU is relatively much lesser known in terms of reputation. The fees seem to be almost the same. In addition, Cornell is giving me a fellowship aid of 20%. I would really appreciate suggestions and opinions from fellow grad school applicants or people who are studying or have already graduated with an MPA degree. Thanks
