hdh and violet28 - I feel the same! Am accepted to NPSIA and GSPIA, both with funding, but honestly, after seeing many friends go through the NPSIA program, it does not look as appealing to me anymore. The reputation is certainly better, but that could be changing in the next few years with how well-funded GSPIA is. I also like the structure of GSPIA a lot better, I think the Senior Mentors program is great, and especially the overseas exchanges/internships/embassy options are really attractive. But the reputation of NPSIA, and how long I've thought about going there, is really giving me a hard time with the decision making process...
