Thanks, abusamra82.I got into Sciences Po, LSE and SOAS!! Need to decide in the next 2 weeks- Sciences Po gave me 15 days!

Hi All I got accepted into Sciences Po (Dev Practise) and LSE (International Dev & Humanitarian Emergencies) - financial aid decisions havent been made yet. and I need to respond to Sciences Po in 15 days! Would love to hear your thoughts on both schools.

from a corporate job in software engineering to International Development finally... I have over 15 years of experience as a software engineer in MNCs and am moving to my real passion- International Development. I have volunteered extensively over the last decade and have dabbled with development quite a bit - domestically and internationally. I was recently accepted into Sussex (IDS) and University of Kent at Brussels. Didnt make it to my top choice IHEID unfortunately, in spite of great grades and professional references. Might have been the lack of academic references and no social sciences degree, not sure...I am waiting to hear from Sciences Po and LSE. Anyone with a similar background here and can offer advise on which schools would be more open to taking a candidate like myself? thanks!
