Sorry I can't give you great advice, but I just wanted to mention that I am having the same conundrum. I'm trying to decide between Harris and Gtown as well... it's a tough decision. I also want the quant focus, but I want the Int'l focus as well, and it seems like Harris is better with the first, while GPPI is better with the second. I visited DC last October and it just seems like a great place to network and get involved in a lot of NGOs. Most of the students at GPPI work part time at great jobs where they can use what they're learning while going to school. I'm sure Chicago has options like that, but it will be limited for International Development pursuers. I'm attending the visit weekend to look into it further.

I've been wondering the same thing about the international concentration coursework. I'm trying to decide between UChicago and Georgetown... UChicago has a more quant-focused program, but I worry that being far away from DC (NGOs, etc...) will be a handicap.

for those who were supposed to receive a scholarship notification on monday, is anybody still waiting to hear? i still haven't heard anything.

I haven't heard either...

I got mine yesterday as well! But I never got an email about sending in a scholarship essay and the email didn't say anything about funding... do you think that means I'm not eligible for a scholarship?

I was accepted a couple of weeks ago and I graduated last August. I've had a couple of good internships, but my work experience since graduation hasn't really been relevant to Public Policy.
