Hey good question. I'm facing the same dilemma myself.
I talked with a few current(international students) and they have shared these very concerns.
So in my opinion, look at your options in terms of :
a) Location of the course ~ closer to DC, NYU would be good as it will help you in networking
Look at Linkedin profiles of current Alums : Where do they land up, contact them
c) Cost : Look at scholarship options.
A lot many students also take up a private sector job immediately after graduating(to fend off the loan) & then plan to come back to the public sector. I don really know how that would work but this is something I heard current students telling.
Make a good choice.
Hey @handiya! I did call them on Thursday, they said they will be up with the results by 15th! Since that happens to be a Sunday, I'm guessing it is Monday!
But yeah, I would have to say they should have been a little more systematic about it.
Lets hope for the best!!!
Posting again : How good this course is compared to other top schools like Wagner, Goldman for example. Does the second year DC option gives a distinct advantage? Have heard some people calling it a soft MBA ? How true is that.
Starting this thread about the admits to the Carnegie Mellon 2015 admits to their Public Policy, DC track applicants. How good the course is, comparison to other schools, questions about DC apprenticeship, etc.
Current students: Please answer questions about the course.
