  1. Congratulations first MPP_Applicant~ I am not sure your career goals at first. If you plan to seek for an academic position in the future, I guess the ECO MA degree might help you more than an MPP degree. Regarding UN, internal contact, your school brand, and your network matter more........
  2. It might be better to contact the admissions office@CIPA since only they have the final say. But if they are unwilling to defer your scholarship, you could reapply next year if it is possible. I do not think CIPA is rather selective since most of the ppls from my own country who applied CIPA have received admissions with some $$$.
  3. On the surface, I agree with yout supervisor. It seems that the more the courses focus quantitatively, the less demanding regarding your work experiences (Actually, this was my perception before I was enrolled in one profession-oriented ma program in ths States). Nevertheless, during most of these classes after my enrollment (like multivariate, linear regression, etc), many professors asked us to find out one real dataset to work on during the whole semester. If you already have your interest field + some basic background knowledge in your mind, your job can be more beneficial/efficient to your future work/research (at lease they can answer some of the confusions which troubled you before your enrollment); on the other hand, after one semester, you will find it a waste of time. Since most profession degree program needs financial investment, why not accumulate at least one or two years of working experience to sharpen your interest field? In this way, your graduate study can be more targetted and worthy of your bucks....... Good luck!
