It seems that you are from Pakistan and in Pakistan brand name matters a lot. Even sometimes they don't even consider your degree. They will look more favourably towards your HKS or Chicago degree,if you decide to come back and work here in Pakistan.

I am accepted to CIPA and I am thinking to join CIPA for fall. I have other offer from University of Maryland. I am inclining towards CIPA but my friends who studied MPA are advising me to join UMD. Anyone can shed some light why I should join CIPA over UMD.

I still have not heard from GSPP regarding my decision. I sent an email but there is no reply. Anyone still waiting fro decision?
