As a current student of Korbel I think I can help you with your question. I was accepted to Yale, SAIS, American, Tufts, and Korbel. I went to the school that offered me the most cash. I recommend you do the same.
Found out unofficially that I have been wait-listed at FSU. So if any of you out there got in and don't want to go please let them know so that I can hopefully pass down their offer for a better one later
Excellent, we are on opposite sides of TAMU's specialty in IR and Methods. I want to work with formal modeling and statistical analysis to look at political economy as a determinant or factor in interstate war. I also want to look at economic coercion.
Now any TAMU adcomm reading this knows exactly who I am...
